"Loved For Once" lyrics

I'm opinionated, and I speak my mind
I'm called intimidating, but they don't see me cry
They'll never understand the fight behind my eyes
I play it off like nothin' bothers me, like I'm used to automatically

I'm good at overthinking my whole life
Replaying conversations in the middle of the night
When I try to see in color, it's all black and white

I'm not asking for your sympathy, or temporary company

Cause I want

I just wanna be, I just wanna be, loved for once
I want someone to choose me, someone to choose me, just because
They'll want me and take me as I am
They'll want me and take me as I am

I know I said I wanted to fall in love
But I won't change who I am just because
They say I'm too much, but I wrestle with feeling enough
So I don't wanna be losing sleep, waiting for the one that's meant for me

I just wanna be, I just wanna be, loved for once
I want someone to choose me, someone to choose me, just because
They'll want me and take me as I am
They'll want me and take me as I am

I just wanna feel, I just wanna feel, loved for once
I want someone to choose me, someone to choose me, just because
They'll want me and take me as I am
They'll want me and take me as I am
(As I am, as I am, as I am, I am!)

I just wanna be loved
Ooh just wanna be loved!

(As I am, as I am, as I am, I am!)

I just wanna be, I just wanna be, loved for once
I want someone to choose me, someone to choose me, just because
They'll want me and take me as I am
They'll want me and take me as I am
