I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am Nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense anymore Nothing is right, nothing is right when you're gone I'm losing my breath, I'm losing my right to be wrong I'm frightened to death, I'm frightened that I won't be strong I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad?

Breaking my heart, breaking my heart once again I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to love me For who I am I want someone to need me Is that so bad? I wanna break all the madness But it's all I have I want someone to love me For who I am Yeah, who I am.
