I Could Be Loved Too ---- Tamicus

Garage rock revival, blues rock, indie rock

(verse 1)
I grew up not believing in love
I didn’t think it was real
I loved my mother and I loved my brother
But that was the end of the deal

I thought I was bad
Even though my heart was good
And I hid my pain
However I could

(pre-chorus)
Who could love this lost boy?
There’s no such thing as Peter Pan
There’s no such thing as Neverland…

(chorus)
I thought I was too bad to love
My heart was locked up tight
I guarded my feelings and drank my pain
And pretended everything’s alright
And then I met you one night
Your brown eyes warm with light
And when you smiled at me, I knew
That I could be loved too

(verse 2)
I was charming, quick, and smart
And not too bad to look at
So I used these things and played the part
Of the charming rogue, the gallant pirate
And I had my share of conquests
Of self-satisfied one-night stands
Nothing too deep, no attachments
My heart was safe playing good-time man

(pre-chorus)
Who could love this party-man?
He was cool; he was fun
But he was always on the run…

(chorus)
I thought I was too bad to love
My heart was locked up tight
I guarded my feelings and drank my pain
And pretended everything’s alright
And then I met you one autumn night
Your brown eyes were so warm and safe
And when you smiled at me, I knew
That I could be loved too

(bridge)
How do you grow from boy to man
Without really knowing love?
I had no practice with a broken heart
With hard endings after quick starts

I didn’t think love was for me
I never felt my heart was worth it
But you saw deep inside me
And taught me love doesn’t quit

(verse 3)
You took this kind but hardened man
And believed in all of me
You revealed things I could never see
You refused to let go of my hand

And gradually, I opened my heart
And your love gave me a new start
Now I know I can give and receive love, too
And I’m so thankful it was all because of you

(outro)
Your love gave me a new start
Now I know I can give and receive love, too
And I’m so thankful it was all because of you
Your brown eyes were so warm and safe
And when you smiled at me, I knew
That I could be loved too
