Lyrics Wanted to Be Loved - Daniel Ahearn

There's a gentleness I've known
Know it best when it was fading
Trying to find my way back home
Don't you know? There's no escaping

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to be close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Turned away from all my dreams
Broken down, disintegratin'
Ignored the signs of all I see
Can't believe, can you blame me?

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to be close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Didn't say til it all was done
Felt so right to hold someone
What I saw in you was almost true
Brutal what the heart will do

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to be close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew

Because I wanted to be loved
I just wanted to get close to you
Because I wanted to be loved
I lost everything I knew
