"What Love Really Means"
He cries in the corner where nobody seesHe's the kid with the storyNo one would believeHe prays every night"Dear God won't you pleaseCould you send someone hereWho will love me?"
Who will love me for meNot for what I have doneOr what I will becomeWho will love me for me'Cause nobody has shown me what loveWhat love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each dayShe's the woman whose husband has run awayShe'll go to the gym after working todayMaybe if she was thinnerThen he would've stayedAnd she says... Who will love me for meNot for what I have doneOr what I will becomeWho will love me for me'Cause nobody has shown me what loveWhat love really meansWhat love really means
He's waiting to die as he sits all aloneHe's a man in a cell who regrets what he's doneHe utters a cry from the depths of his soul"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep insideAnd it said, "I know you've murdered and I know you've liedAnd I have watched you suffer all of your lifeAnd now that you'll listen I'll, I'll tell you that I..."
I will love you for youNot for what you have doneOr what you will becomeI will love you for youI will give you the loveThe love that you never knewLove you for youNot for what you have doneOr what you will becomeI will love you for youI will give you the loveThe love that you never knew
