Lyrics
Taking root
inside the storm
And I guess
I was never really what you wanted
Built my tower
to the sky
To watch myself from up above
where angels fly
But on the ground
it's still the same
Still the object of your objection
Still the boy who bears your name
Please
I just want you to see me
Please
I just want to be heard
Falling fast
from my tower
Am I too old
to grieve this child?
The ground keeps coming
so much harder
In the dirt
I see my heart
Abandoned in the desert
Still waiting for my life to start
Please
I just want you to see me
Please
I just want to be heard
After all these years in chains
All the years I lived in shame
Please
Please
I just want to be loved
Maybe I don't need you now
Maybe I'm just lost at sea
You look like a photograph
calling from the shore to me
Please
I just want you to see me
Please
I just want to be heard
After all these years in chains
All the years I lived in shame
Please
Please
I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved
Oh, because I love to be loved
