I've been afraid all of my life

Crippled with anxiety, shame and doubt

And sometimes, sometimes I'd like to shout

At the top of my lungs and just let it out.

What has that fear ever done for me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

But hold me back? oh...

What has jealousy and hate ever done for you

But remind you of what you think you lack?

So, give me love and give me compassion

Self-forgiveness and give me some passion

I love you even if you don't love me, ooh-ooh...

I love you even if you can't love me.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

All of this pain that I've kept concealed

Thought if I didn't speak it, it wouldn't be real

But sometimes, sometimes I feel I have to shout

At the top of my lungs and just let it out.

What has that fear ever done for me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

But hold me back?

So, give me love and give me compassion

Self-forgiveness and give me some passion

I love you even if you don't love me, ooh-ooh...

I love you even if you can't love me.

You've been staring at your mirror

Tryna make the picture clearer

But, angel, can't you see who's in front of you?

So, give me love and give me compassion

Self-forgiveness and give me some passion

I love you even if you don't love me.

I love you, oh, can't you see you're free?

Oh, angel, can't you see you're free?

Oh, angel, can't you see you're free?
