LYRIC FOR SALE

By Nedeira

Was it too much to ask for your love?
To hold me close, keep me safe and warm,
To make me feel like I mattered,
When you were all I had in this big world,
The first face I saw when I came into it,
Yet, I felt so alone,
Just needing your love and care,
To fill the love I thought was missing.
I'm just a broken kid,
Scared and sitting in the corner,
Too afraid to come out,
Worried I might get hurt.
I don't know how to be in this world,
Don't know who I need to be,
To be loved, heard, and cared for.
My little kid inside is hurting,
In pain and scared,
Afraid to live in this world.
Mama, papa, at four years old,
I needed your love, your protection,
To feel that, no matter what,
I'd be loved unconditionally.
I needed to feel like nothing's wrong with me,
That I'm enough and deserve love.
To know it's safe to be me,
To be my true self, to express myself,
To be safe in this world,
To be me, without walls and shields,
Between you and me,
To open my heart and love,,
I needed your love so that forever,
I wouldn't look for it from others,
So I wouldn't try to fill the emptiness inside
with others
