Askjell & AURORA - To Be Loved Lyrics

Askjell & AURORA Lyrics

"To Be Loved"
(feat.)

Waking up
Thinking of what it is to be loved
(To be loved, to be loved)

Should I know
On my own on a road
What it is to be loved?
(To be loved, to be loved)
You touched my skin
So warm, but time is cold and
Trust me, I would know
In my heart, I'm the half of a whole
And it's making me feel so alone
Waking up
Thinking of what it is to be loved
(To be loved, to be loved)

I tell myself I have to build defenses
'Cause once you are in love, you are defenseless
Everything was easy when it meant less
But once you are in love, you are defenseless

Nobody knows me, nobody knows me
I'm never lonely
Until someone holds me
And lets go, just to show me
How it's like to be loved

How it's like to be loved
How it's like to be loved
I take flight, but you hold me
Is that how you show me
How it's like to be loved?
How it's like to be loved

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause nobody shows me
Nobody shows me

How it's like to be loved
How it's like to be loved
I take flight, but you hold me
Is that how you show me
How it's like to be loved?
How it's like to be loved

I tell myself I have to build defenses
'Cause once I am in love, I'll be
Once I am in love, I'll be defenseless
Defenseless
Once I am in love, I'll be defenseless
