[Verse 1]
I talk too soft
You learn to read my silence
I try too hard
You still keep your distance
Every mirror
Finds another fault to frame
I light myself on fire
Just to spell your name
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Is that too much?
Every time I get close
I pull the plug
If I break myself open
Will it ever be enough?
I just wanna be loved
Almost enough
[Verse 2]
You say I’m kind
Then leave me in the background
Call me at night
Then vanish by the next round
I laugh it off
Say I’m fine
It’s not that deep
Then lie awake at sunrise
Staring at my feet
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Is that too much?
Every time I get close
I pull the plug
If I break myself open
Will it ever be enough?
I just wanna be loved
Almost enough
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the common thread
Every goodbye in my hands
If I was lighter
Louder
Better
Would you stay
Would you stay?
I’m tired of trying to pretend
That I’m not begging in my head
“Please don’t leave
Please don’t leave”
But I never say
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
Is that too much?
Every time I get close
I pull the plug
If I break myself open
Will it ever be enough?
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Almost enough
