[Verse 1]
You know no one's gonna love you
Like I could have loved you
You just had to let me stay

Everything you ever wanted
Was right there in your arms
You just had to have a little faith

And now the love is falling out of me
Like a river turned into the sea
You gave it all 'cause you'd rather have fun
Than try to find the best in me

[Chorus]
Everybody gets off if they get it from someone
I just wanna be yours
I wanna be someone
Ooh, how can I be myself if I want to be
Want to be
Want to be someone

[Verse 2]
I was never gonna love you
Like I used to love you
That was meant to fade away

You were just afraid of
What I was afraid of
You know we could have both escaped

You saw something in my eyes
That made you want to become mine
But the light that you saw
Was made from a spark
And you didn't want the fire

[Chorus]
I just wanna be yours
I wanna be someone
I just wanna be yours
I wanna be someone
I just want the love that
I've waited for it all my life
Ooh, how can I be myself if I want to be
Want to be
Want to be someone
[Bridge]
If we could ever get away, anyway
There's a way they'd ever let us get away clean
If we're never gonna get away, anyway
Maybe we should give up on our reason to leave
No one comes to the same hole
And no one makes it through this pure
If you like what you saw
Then you should have called
And told me that I was yours

Everybody needs love
They get it from someone
It would be easier
If it wasn't in a person
They drink our cups
They keep a little fountain

[Outro]
Ooh, how can I be myself if I want to be someone
I just want to be yours
I want to be someone
I just want to be yours
I want to be someone
I just want the love that
I've waited for it all my life
Ooh, how can I be myself if I want to be
Want to be
Want to be
Want to be someone
You know no one's gonna love you
Like I could have loved you
You just had to let me stay
