"scratches" lyrics

I wanna feel the thrill without feeling like it kills me
Someone saying it first to be the reason why I can't sleep
I want recognition with no spotlight on
'Cause I deserve standing ovations
Without having to perform

I wanna feel a spark without catching fire
Someone putting me first without having to fight for it
Wanna let down my guard
For someone who's trying
I wanna say I'm in love
And not say that I'm glad I survived it

Oh can I just follow my heart
Without my sanity falling apart?
If I show who I am could that be enough
For someone to just like me back from the start?

All that I ask
Is someone to want me
Why's it so hard
For someone to fall for me

Give me more than scratches on the surface
All of it without the hurting
It's almost like I don't deserve it
I deserve it

Give me more than scratches on the surface
Give me love without the hurting
It's almost like I don't deserve it
I deserve it

All that I ask
Is someone to hold me
Why's it so hard
For someone to fall for me?
