To Be Loved

I built a house for a 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
 But oh my, oh my
 I'll never learn if I never leap
 I'll always yearn if I never speak
 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've tried
 ♪
 I'm so afraid but I'm open wide
 I'll be the one to catch myself this time
 Trying to learn to lean into 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
 But oh my, oh my
 I'll never learn if I never leap
 I'll always yearn if I never speak
 
 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 cried for you
 Even started lying to you
 What a thing to do
 All because I wanted
 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
 Let it be known that I tried
 That I tried
 Let it be known that I tried
