Oh, mom, don't you know,
How I still need to be hugged,
To feel safe under blanket of love?..
Oh, tell me you wanted me here in this world,
In this mess, in your breath and your endless love.
What is inside me when I look at you?
Is this love, am I close to...?
Love me for being your only breakthrough
From the dark, emptier you.
I need to be loved, not worried about
Or judged as too proud.
I wanna be welcomed and wrapped in your heart.
Forever a child, I wanna be wild, but I need to be loved,
Above all just loved...
Oh, dad, don't you know,
How you don't really show your
Approval of my scattered tries?..
I try, and I lie and I feel like I die just to prove you
I'm worthy of love.
Please, tell me you know how I can't be like you,
But I can be your favourite child!
I wanna be wild, but I need to be loved,
Above all just loved...
I need to be loved, not worried about
Or judged as too proud.
I wanna be welcomed and wrapped in your heart.
Forever a child, I wanna be wild, but I need to be loved,
Above all just loved...
