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
