[Verse 1] I’ve spent too many nights with the silence, Talking to the shadows on my wall. I’ve learned how to smile when I’m hurting, And pretend I don’t need anyone at all. But when the lights go down around me, There’s a truth I can’t outrun— I’m tired of being somebody’s almost, Tired of always being the lonely one. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a perfect story, I don’t need a fairytale. I just need somebody who will hold me When the rest of the world turns cold and fails. [Chorus] I want someone to love me, Not just when it’s easy to stay. Someone who will reach for me When I’m falling apart someday. I want arms that feel like home, A heart that won’t let go. Someone who sees the scars I hide And loves me even more. I’ve spent my whole life searching For a love that sets me free— I don’t want somebody to need me, I want someone to love me. [Verse 2] I’ve given pieces of my heart away To people who were passing through. I kept believing every promise That sounded like forever coming true. Maybe I was asking for too little, Maybe I was scared to ask for more. But I know there’s something waiting On the other side of this lonely door. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need somebody flawless, I don’t need a life without pain. Just somebody who will stay beside me When the sunshine disappears again. [Chorus] I want someone to love me, Not just when it’s easy to stay. Someone who will reach for me When I’m falling apart someday. I want arms that feel like home, A heart that won’t let go. Someone who sees the scars I hide And loves me even more. I’ve spent my whole life searching For a love that sets me free— I don’t want somebody to need me, I want someone to love me. [Bridge] Maybe someday, somebody’s gonna find me When I’ve finally stopped looking around. They’ll take my trembling hands in theirs And never make me feel like I’m too much. And I’ll know without a question, Without fear and without doubt, That love was never something I had to beg somebody for. [Final Chorus] I want someone to love me, When the whole world fades away. Someone who will choose me And keep choosing me every day. I want a love that’s honest, A love that’s wild and deep. Someone who can hold my heart And give me theirs to keep. After all the nights I’ve cried, After all I’ve been through— I don’t want to spend forever Wondering if somebody wants me too. I want someone to love me, Just as I am, completely. No more almost, no more someday— No more loving someone who doesn’t love me. [Outro] I don’t need the whole world… I just need one heart to choose me. One heart to stay. One heart to love me.
