I had a roof overhead

Had shoes on my feet

Sure I was fed, but no-one was there

When I was in need, yeah

So who am I now?

Who do you want me to be?

I can forgive you, but I won't relive you

I aint the same scared kid I used to be

[Chorus]

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

Don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I aint gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

I found a picture

Our so-called family tree, yeah

I broke all the branches, looking for answers

Don't you know that aint how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

Don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna give

I'm ready to try

Willing to lay it on the line

I wanna be loved

I wanna be

I aint gonna cry

I dont wanna scream

But I got so much left unsaid inside of me

[Chorus]

I just wanna be loved

I wanna be loved
