Need to be loved

lyrics

You wake in the morning you yawn and you reach for your phone
It's still early you check if your friends list has grown
In the night and if your posts were liked by the strangers that you call your friends you pretend that it's

Real cos you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)

You put on your makeup and line up the selfie you'll take
You'll sellect the right filters so there's no mistake
In the image you show to the world when you share and then wait for responses and likes cos you

Care what they think about you cos you need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)

So just be yourself don't let anyone else dictate how you live
Don't be so vain, just use your brain, you've so much to give

You put on the clothes that the influencers said were in style
And pose in thy mirror to improve your smile
Cos you can't let your followers see that inside you are scared and just want to hide from the

World cos you're curled up in fear and need to be loved (need to be loved) it's not
Real but you feel so alone and you need to be loved (need to be loved)

So just be yourself don't let anyone else dictate how you live
Don't be so vain, just use your brain, you've so much to give

Just open your eyes and look at the world past your door
Put your phone in your pocket you'll see much more
Than the life that has been on your screen, there's real people, whose lives aren't pretend with real friends and they

Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
Feel so much happier being with people they love (we all need to be loved)
