Listening to at this moment: Bon Jovi, Have a Nice Day Album

The entire album touches those cords of me that are crying out for "More, More, More" and also "Less, Less, Less" all at once. Screw the world and what anyone thinks is "Proper" .. I've tried to push myself into this tiny box because I was afraid .. afraid of losing .. afraid of the dying .. afraid of being everything I could be .. because it wasn't acceptable to be "Me". Screw it all. I give up .. I give up being someone else .. being something else .. because the "Real Me" isn't perfect.

Bon Jovi - I Want To Be Loved Lyrics

I had a roof overhead
Had shoes on my feet
Sure I was fed, but no-one was there
When I was in need, yeah
So who am I now?
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you, but I won't relive you
I aint the same scared kid I used to be

[Chorus]
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna dream
I aint gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved

I found a picture
A so called family tree, yeah
I broke all the branches, looking for answers
Don't you know that aint how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give
I'm willing to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna be loved
I wanna be

I aint gonna cry
I dont wanna scream
But i got so much left unsaid inside of me

[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
