So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
I love to be loved [Repeat x2]
I cry the way that babies cry
Words, they climb all over you
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I love to be loved [Repeat x2]
This old familiar craving
I've been here before, this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
