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 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 ' ll 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 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
