Comtemplation on a world of emotionless sex.
"Loved" is a song recorded by Kim Wilde as a "new" track for the compilation album The Very Best of Kim Wilde, released in 2001.
The song was co-written by Ricki Wilde and Terry Ronald.
The dance track was remixed and released in several of its remixed forms as a single across continental Europe, to some degree of success. New remixes of Wilde's 1980s hits "Kids in America" and "View From a Bridge" were also found on some formats of the single.
Once again I bare myself before you
Beggin' for a chance we never had
You don’t want all I have to offer
And its too late for me to take it back
Look at where you always leave us standing
Between all the way and not quite close enough
There could be a place you dont believe in
If you would only let yourself be loved
Im the one who seems to keep you smiling
And I'd be more if you'd take the dare
The two of us, we're really children hiding
Underneath the armor that we wear
And these walls...aren't so tall
That we're climbing
chorus
So many hearts who'll never even
Have the chance to hold
What you seem to be so willing to let go
What good is being strong and hiding in some harbor
If you and I end up all alone
You say a kiss will set the clock in motion
And make a mess of the beauty that we've made
And even that is really just as crazy
As thinking I could just wish you away
Look at where you always leave us standing
Between all the way and not quite close enough
I could be what you just won’t believe in
If you would only let yourself be loved
Try to hold on
Though it seems you can't go on
You know that you can be strong
Find a way to carry on
And God bless your soul
In the heavens up above
If you can't find a way
You must know that you are loved
Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
Is there a reason why
the sky gets black at night and
Our hearts feel like stone
And you're left to face this alone?
Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
Try to hold on
Though it seems you can't go on
You know that you can be strong
Find a way to carry on
And God bless your soul
In the heavens up above
If you can't find a way
You must know that you are loved
Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
Is there a reason why
The sky gets black at night and
Our hearts feel like stone
And you're left to face this alone?
Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
I know you are brave
Do you dream of a home you never had?
An innocence that you cannot get back
The pain is real, you can't erase it
Sooner or later you have to face it down, down
You have to face it down
You are loved
Do you keep your thoughts inside your head?
Do you regret the things you never said
You have a voice, you have to use it
You have a choice, don't let them shut you down, down
Don't let them shut you down
You are loved
You are loved
Do you feel the ache inside your soul?
You know you'll never make it on your own
Sorrow is too great for you to hold it
You're gonna break, why don't you lay it down?
(Bridge)
Freedom comes in letting go
Open up the window to your heart
Freedom comes in letting go
Open up your heart
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
Will I be good enough tomorrow?
Would I be good enough today?
I gave back all the things I borrowed
But I couldn't clean up all my stains
But I just want to be loved
I just want to be loved by you
Bite my lip when I am bitter
As I wave goodbye to all my dreams
I'm hoping you will make me better
Stitching the tear within my seams
And it feels o.k.
When you mold this clay
And I know I'm made by you, yeah, by you
Where's the virtue in the waiting
When you slay me with your word
As all the light ablove is fading
Do You Want To Teeeeaaarrrr mmmeeeehhhh
KING SHIT KING SHIT
(Chorus)
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
Cuz I've been loved and when the day come that I get judged
believe me baby I won't budge baby I won't budge
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
And Then We Live And Then We Die
Sometimes we fall and then we fly Lord let me fly
God Knows I wasn't ready for this one
God Knows I wasn't Ready To miss ya
From The Cracks Of Concrete comes the rodes we started out
On the Concrete where crack and we rose far
We let things coming up I suppose
What drove us to dream and pack things in our clothes
Tell that pops was a fiend and I know
Told Mama I don't want to be that please don't let me be that
She cried and said baby be strong they wrong mama cuz you raised a man on yo own
I love that pops came around though he said he had to let the streets raise me I ain't mad look how the streets raise me
All the game that the streets gave me
It's up to me we gon eat baby
I miss mike and the way it used to be maybe
That's the reason that I beast on these beats lately
I know you still with me
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
Cuz I've been loved and when the day come that I get judged
believe me baby I won't budge baby I won't budge
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
And Then We Live And Then We Die
Sometimes we fall and then we fly Lord let me fly
I woke up on the wrong side of the sofa
Eatin most of rollacoastas rollin ova
Son of an act mom was a soldier slightly embarrassed about how i growed up see pop wasn't around when he was around he was slanging pounds and him and mom fight in the middle of the night
I saw one strike a woman that I love her woman that I like
Never In My life expressed even a wife
So right here at this moment right here
Right hand on my heart swears coming from my heart
steering through the trenches I ain't even trying to stop
I'm trying take it straight to the top
I'm trying to places where it's hot in the winter
Remember Cereal for breakfast cereal for dinner
and what makes it special that I ain't even tripping you raised you a man with quickness against all odds
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
Cuz I've been loved and when the day come that I get judged
believe me baby I won't budge baby I won't budge
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
And Then We Live And Then We Die
Sometimes we fall and then we fly Lord let me fly
(lil Wayne):
Yeah and every time I see the sun shine
I drop down a give thanks at least one time
Feeling like I'm living on the front line
I'm Feeling like every second is crush time
I've had breakfast will I make to lunch time
And I ain't joking so don't be looking for a punchline
Will I be the next victim of a gun crime I don't know the answer that why I brung mine
Riding by myself late at night pistol on my lap at every single red light
Yeah I made my bed rights so when I do I should sleep tight and peace I RIP
Before I sleep I pray to the lord my soul to keep
and if I should die before I wake I pray to the lord my souls I've taken for goodness sake
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
Cuz I've been loved and when the day come that I get judged
believe me baby I won't budge baby I won't budge
I've been hurt but I don't hold no grudge
At least I can say I was loved
And Then We Live And Then We Die
