Want to Love

[Verse 1]
Your uncle was a damaged man
Who felt no guilt when molesting a child
He used and abused you, hurt and confused you
And left you feeling defiled
Now fifteen years later
After a child had confused, despaired
You don't know how to own your passion
You never learned how to share

[Pre-Chorus]
But you are a warrior fighting to regain your life
Facing the beast of your anger
To cut out its heart with your knife

[Chorus]
I think I'm a lot like you
We want to love, we want to be loved
I think you're a lot like me
We want to love, wе want to be loved

[Verse 2]
When you told mе your story
It reawakened the pain
That lay down deep in my bowels
I never gave it a name
The truth was revealed to me
In fascist former forgotten past
Just one moment of betrayal
And a lifetime to be an outcast

[Chorus]
Oh I think I'm a lot like you
We want to love, we want to be loved
I think you're a lot like me
We want to love, we want to be loved

[Bridge]
Hey, hey momma, when you open your mind
Don't be afraid to watch my fight

[Verse 3]
I admire your courage
For facing the things you do
You and I, we're both alike
That's how I know you get through
Day by day we will take it
We'll take it hand in hand
Right now you have my promise
You can't lose 'cause love understands

[Chorus]
Oh I think I'm a lot like you
We want to love, we want to be loved
I think you're a lot like me
We want to love, we want to be loved
I think I'm a lot like you
We want to love, we want to be loved
I think you're a lot like me
We want to love, we want to be loved

[Outro]
Hey, hey momma, when you open your mind
Don't be afraid to watch my fight
Hey, hey momma, when you open your mind
Don't be afraid to watch my fight
