You Just Want To Be Loved

You Just Wanted To Be Loved

you just want to be loved
don’t we all
you just want to be accepted
to come home
and not be rejected
the paint has been running
on your asylum walls
you just want to be loved
away from a marriage
that comes with a ring
such a familiar ring
and a silent scream
love is still alive
but what happened to the dream?
you just want to be loved
to be accepted
get through to the next round
not be rejected
be known for who you are
and be selected
you just want to be loved


James Garratt – November 2009
