To Be Loved
AnnaGrace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please bring me back home
And can you stay with me
I'd like to be alone, with you
Please bring me back home
Where I can be myself
Feel like I don't belong, in here

Don't wanna be alone tonight

So hold your body close to mine
I need love, love

I'm not afraid, to be loved
To give love
I'm not afraid, to be loved
To give love

Please bring me back home
Let's get out of here
I'd like to spend some time, with you
Please bring me back home
These people bring me down
The only one I need, is you

Don't wanna be alone tonight
So hold your body close to mine
I need love, love

I'm not afraid, to be loved
To give love

I'm not afraid, to be loved
To give love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AnnaGrace's "To Be Loved" speaks about the universal need for love and companionship. The first verse expresses a desire to be with a loved one, to be oneself and to escape from the feeling of not fitting in. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to be loved and to have someone to hold on to, reminding us of the comfort and sense of belonging that comes with being in a loving relationship. The second verse of the song continues the theme of the first, with the singer urging the loved one to take her away from the present negative environment which brings her down, as she seeks refuge in the love and affection of the person who completes her.

The lyrics bring out some of the anxieties that are commonly experienced by people in relationships - the fear of loneliness, the desire to be accepted, and the sense of not fitting in. This makes it a relatable song that speaks to the emotional struggles people face in their love lives. The repetition of the line "I'm not afraid to be loved" serves as an empowering message, encouraging the listener to embrace love, to not be afraid of it and to have the strength to give love even when it's not reciprocated.
