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
