To Be Loved

[Verse 1] I built a house for love to grow I was so young that it was hard to know I'm as lost now as I was back then Always make a mess of everything It's about time that I face myself All I do is bleed into someone else Painting walls with all my secret tears Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears [Pre-Chorus] But oh my, oh my I'll never learn if I never leap I'll always yearn if I never speak [Chorus] To be loved and love at the highest count Means to lose all the things I can't live without Let it be known that I will choose to lose It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie Let it be known, let it be known that I tried [Verse 2] I'm so afraid but I'm open wide I'll be the one to catch myself this time Trying to learn to lean in to it all Ain't it funny how the mighty fall? Looking back I don't regret a thing Yeah, I took some bad turns that I am owning I'll stand still and let the storm pass by Keep my heart safe 'til the time feels right [Pre-Chorus] But oh my, oh my I'll never learn if I never leap I'll always yearn if I never speak [Chorus] To be loved and love at the highest count Means to lose all the things I can't live without Let it be known that I will choose to lose It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie Let it be known [Bridge] Let it be known that I cried for you Even started lying to you What a thing to do All because I wanted [Chorus] To be loved and love at the highest count Means to lose all the things I can't live without Let it be known, known, known That I will choose, I will lose It's a sacrifice but I can't live a lie Let it be known [Outro] Let it be known that I tried, that I tried Let it be known that I tried
