I wanna feel the thrill without feeling like it kills me
Someone sayin' it first, to be the reason why I can't sleep
I want recognition with no spotlight on
'Cause I deserve standing ovations without having to perform

I wanna feel a spark without catchin' fire
Someone putting me first without having to fight for it
Wanna let down my guard for someone who's tryin'
I wanna say I'm in love and not say that I'm glad I survived it

Oh, can I just follow my heart
Without my sanity falling apart?
If I show who I am, could that be enough
For someone to just like me back from the start?

All that I ask
Is someone to want me
Why's it so hard
For someone to fall for me?

Oh
Oh, oh (oh)
Oh, oh, oh

Give me more than scratches on the surface
All of it without the hurtin'
It's almost like I don't deserve it
I deserve it
Give me more than scratches on the surface
Give me love without the hurtin'
It's almost like I don't deserve it
I deserve it

All that I ask (give me more than scratches on the surface)
Is someone to hold me (give me love without the hurtin')
Why's it so hard (it's almost like I don't deserve it)
For someone to fall for me? (I deserve it)
