Lyrics
We try to ease the pain
We strive to alleviate emotional distress.
A lot different ways
Utilizing various methods to cope.
From laughter to weed to sex
From laughter to weed to sex, seeking relief.
So we can feel a little better
To experience a slight improvement in our well-being.
Talk about the weather
Engaging in small talk as a distraction.
Just a temporary fix
Temporary solutions that don't address the root issues.
We keep running and gunning down the same lonely road
Continuously pursuing a familiar, desolate path.
And don't seem to realize that we're each other's hope
Unaware that we are each other's source of hope.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
A universal desire for love, acceptance as we are.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Reiterating the longing for unconditional love.
From our faults to our fears
Acknowledging flaws and fears.
Every wound, every scar
Embracing every emotional and physical wound.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Yearning for love despite imperfections.
We cover up, protect
Concealing vulnerabilities to avoid rejection.
Afraid they'll hit reject
Fearful of being rejected if true selves are revealed.
If they saw who we really were
Afraid of judgment if others see our authentic selves.
We've been burned before
Scarred from past experiences, cautious about trust.
And can't take anymore
Emotionally wounded and reluctant to endure more pain.
Won't let em see the insecure
Keeping insecurities hidden from others.
Bravado's great cover for scared little child
Projecting strength as a defense mechanism.
And we want more than attention when the jokers run wild
Desiring genuine connection beyond superficial attention.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Reaffirming the universal wish for love.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Reiterating the longing for unconditional love.
From our faults to our fears
Acknowledging flaws and fears.
Every wound, every scar
Embracing every emotional and physical wound.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Yearning for love despite imperfections.
We pretend, we use
Pretending and using defense mechanisms.
Defend, confuse
Defending and confusing others to protect ourselves.
But we all have a story to tell
Everyone has a unique and significant story.
Yeah i know it's hard
Acknowledging life's difficulties and challenges.
But if you show your cards
Encouraging openness about personal struggles.
You'll see you're not the only one who's going through hell
Realizing others share similar hardships.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Reiterating the universal wish for love.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Expressing the longing for unconditional love.
From our faults to our fears
Acknowledging flaws and fears.
Every wound, every scar
Embracing every emotional and physical wound.
We all just wanna be loved as we are
Yearning for love despite imperfections.
Wanna be loved, loved, loved as we are
Repeating the desire to be loved as we are.
