He cries in the corner where nobody sees

He's the kid with the story

No one would believe

He prays every night

"Dear God won't you please

Could you send someone here

Who will love me?"



Who will love me for me

Not for what I have done

Or what I will become

Who will love me for me

'Cause nobody has shown me what love

What love really means



Her office is shrinking a little each day

She's the woman whose husband has run away

She'll go to the gym after working today

Maybe if she was thinner

Then he would've stayed

And she says... 

Who will love me for me

Not for what I have done

Or what I will become

Who will love me for me

'Cause nobody has shown me what love

What love really means

What love really means



He's waiting to die as he sits all alone

He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done

He utters a cry from the depths of his soul

"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"



Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside

And it said, 

"I know you've murdered and I know you've lied

And I have watched you suffer all of your life

And now that you'll listen I'll, I'll tell you that I..."



I will love you for you

Not for what you have done

Or what you will become

I will love you for you

I will give you the love

The love that you never knew

Love you for you

Not for what you have done

Or what you will become

I will love you for you

I will give you the love

The love that you never knew
