Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do I feel like my heart gets broken
Whenever I surrender my emotions?
I thought that I could tell you how I feel
Whether good or bad
When I'm happy or sad
[Verse 2]
Oh, why do I have to be the silent one
Whenever there is something on my mind?
I thought that we were partners in this game of love
Why can't I laugh or cry
And shed my feelings deep inside?
[Verse 3]
I wanna be loved by somebody
Who's strong enough for me
I want to be free with my feelings
That's the way it's supposed to be
I'm willing to share my emotions
And give you what you need
Just don't turn away if I say that I just want to be me
[Verse 4]
Why am I questioning where you are?
It's just because I've made a few demands
Remember all the times we cried and I dried your tears
And how I held your hand?
If you do please understand
[Verse 5]
I wanna be love by somebody
Who's strong enough for me
I wanna be free with my feelings
That's the way it's supposed to be
I'm willing to share my emotions
And give you what you need
Just don't turn away if I say that I just want to be me
[Verse 6]
I want to cry tears of joy and not of pain
I want to share things that words cannot explain
I don't wanna go, I just need for you to know
That my love is sweet, but strong
Keep on holdin' on
[Verse 7]
'Cause I wanna be loved by somebody
Who's strong enough for me
You see I wanna be free (With my feelings), I wanna be me
That's the way it's supposed to be
I'm willing to share my emotions
And give you what you need
Just don't turn away if I say that I just want to be me
Just don't turn away if I say that I just want to be me
