I wanted to be loved

Maybe I was scared because it was wrong
Maybe I was scared because I would be alone
Maybe I was scared because I could get hurt
Maybe I was scared because your all that matters to me

I truly wanted to tell the world
That I was in love
But I didn’t want to be judged
For who I was in love with

Maybe I did it because I’m foolish
Maybe I did it because I’m in love
Maybe I did it because I was tired of secrets
Maybe I did it because I wanted to be loved back

I truly wanted acceptance
To let me love whoever
And still be cared about
Is that too much to ask?

Maybe I regret it because it can’t happen
Maybe I regret it because I am alone
Maybe I regret it because love hurts
Maybe I regret it because I knew better
