To Love

All I wanted when I was young Was to be thought of as beautiful An object made to be adored A shiny bright toy for the whole damned world In the mirror all I could see Was everything that I couldn't be I tried so hard to be someone else I never was happy all by myself To love, to love, to love someone Is all we got until we're done Until we burn up into the sun To love to love to love someone When I found the love I had heard about I never could say what I felt out loud Afraid of losing the one I had I kept my heart buried deep in the sand I tied myself to a sinking ship Going down in a gust of wind The sky was clear, the water blue I came Up for air when I couldn't move To love, to love, to love someone Is all we got until we're done Until we burn up into the sun To love to love to love someone Love is what I know is true I saw it and knew it when I found you I'll say it twice, I'll say it loud I'll say it when I cannot make a sound To love, to love, to love someone Is all we got until we're done Until we burn up into the sun To love to love to love someone
