A reason to be held
I'm tired of being alone
Tired of the racism
Tired of being the center of every joke
Why
Why, because I'm not the same as you
I'm not the same and I'm faulted for it every day
I'll never be right because no one knows
For I never speak
I just want to cry sometimes
I want to cry like a child
I want to crawl into a little space and cry
Cry because I'm all alone
Why can't I be loved
My mother she left me without looking back
My family there is no family
Just memories that stand for nothing
I just want to be loved
I want to be loved the same as everyone else
But it will never happen
It will never happen because no one knows
No one knows how I feel
No one really knows
No one knows how it feels
I want to be loved
Because the feeling
The feeling under my ribs
That feeling is from not being loved
I want you to love me
I want you to love me as your own
I want to be held
Because everyone deserves to be held
