Like to Be Loved
Discovering Love's Pain: "Like to Be Loved" Reflection
Lyrics
I changed myself
I underwent a personal transformation
To try and make myself stand out
I tried to distinguish myself
From the crowd
From the masses
Caught in a lie
Caught in a falsehood
I only ever did it for you and I
I did it only for you, and our love
But your love was so much more
Your love was profound
The kind of love that I’ve been searching for
The type of love I've sought
Never selfish and for what it’s worth
Selfless love, valuable despite its outcome
How did I mess this up
Regretting a mistake in the relationship
You showed me what it was like to be loved
You revealed the experience of being loved
Now I’m standing here alone
Now, facing solitude
How do I sleep in this cold bed all alone
Struggling with loneliness in a cold bed
I’m so used to having someone here to hold me
Accustomed to having someone to hold
Hold me all night long
Longing for continuous embrace
Just hold me (oh)
Expressing the desire to be held
You showed me what it was like to be loved
Recalling the feeling of being loved
Now I gotta face this world
Confronting the world alone
Alone
Isolated
I hide in the dark
Seeking refuge in darkness
Stolen memories now wrapped in his arms
Memories now belonging to someone else
I can’t go back
Regretting the inability to turn back
Sometimes I wish our love was stronger than that
Wishing for a stronger love
I lost you from my barren lies
Lost due to deceptive actions
Lies I fed myself tore us apart
Self-deception causing separation
I was the master to my own damn life
Own actions controlling destiny
How did I mess this up
Reflecting on a mistake
You showed me what it was like to be loved
You demonstrated the essence of love
Now I’m standing here alone
Now, facing solitude
How do I sleep in this cold bed all alone
Struggling with loneliness in a cold bed
I’m so used to having someone here to hold me
Accustomed to having someone to hold
Hold me all night long
Longing for continuous embrace
Just hold me (oh)
Expressing the desire to be held
You showed me what it was like to be loved
Recalling the feeling of being loved
Now I gotta face this world
Confronting the world alone
Alone
Isolated
I know he has your heart
Acknowledging someone else in your heart
I want your embrace
Desiring their warmth and affection
I don’t even trust myself
Lack of self-trust
Baby I’m to blame
Taking responsibility for the relationship issues
But you showed me what It was like to be loved
You taught me about love, but it's gone
Now I’ve got nothing left to show
Nothing left to demonstrate
How do I sleep knowing it was all my fault
Struggling with guilt and regret
You showed me what it was like to be loved
Recalling the feeling of being loved
Now I’m standing here alone
Now, facing solitude
How do I sleep in this cold bed all alone
Struggling with loneliness in a cold bed
I’m so used to having someone here to hold me
Accustomed to having someone to hold
Hold me all night long
Longing for continuous embrace
Just hold me (oh)
Expressing the desire to be held
You showed me what it was like to be loved
Recalling the feeling of being loved
Now I gotta face this world
Confronting the world alone
Alone
Isolated
