Loved by You
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bought a castle in France, and
It's the same one I built in the sand for you
When I was two

I thought I painted a picture of Heaven
But it turns out it's just your room
Just your room
I'd run off the end of the earth
Just to see if you'd catch me
When I know you'd let me fall every time

All I do
Is wish that I could change myself
But wish that I could change my-
All I do
Is wait around and hate myself
Oh, I hate the way
I need to be loved by you
I wish that I could change myself
I wish that I could change my-
All I do
Is wait around and hate myself
Oh, I hate the way
I need to be loved by you
(I need to be loved by you)
(I need to be loved by you)
(You)
(I need to be loved by you)
(I need to be loved by you)

I remember when we started datin'
The only thing that you and me was chasin'
The kinda lovin' that they couldn't play with
You know my lovin' is an everyday thing, baby
And when we in different places
Textin' and messagin' and talkin' crazy
When I'm with you, I feel like it's a daydream
That's how I know that you would always be my baby

All I do
Is wish that I could change myself
But wish that I could change my-
All I do
Is wait around and hate myself
Oh, I hate the way
I need to be loved by you
I wish that I could change myself
I wish that I could change my-
All I do
Is wait around and hate myself
Oh, I hate the way
I need to be loved by you

I've walked a thousand miles
I've opened every door
It's not enough
It's still your love I'm always looking for
It's just the way I'm wired
Whether I'm wrong or right
I've only got one thing on my mind
I need to be loved by you

(I need to be loved by you)
(I need to be loved by you)
(You)




(I need to be loved by you)
(I need to be loved by you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Justin Bieber's "Loved By You" depict a persistent, all-consuming desire for love and affection. The opening lines describe the purchase of a castle in France that was originally built in the sand when the singer was just two years old for his beloved. The castle serves as a symbol of their connection and the singer's desire to protect and care for his lover. The chorus laments how the singer wishes he could change himself to be more deserving of the love he craves, but all he can do is wait and hate himself for needing it so desperately.


The second verse shifts to a reminiscence of the beginning of their relationship, with the singer describing how their love was unshakeable and how they would always be connected. Despite distance and separation, they remained close and devoted. The bridge emphasizes that the singer has tried everything to find love and fulfillment, but nothing is enough without the affection of the one he desires. The repeated chorus drives home the idea that the singer's only thought is to be loved by his partner, and it's a constant, inescapable need.


Overall, the lyrics to "Loved By You" paint a picture of a love that is both consuming and unfulfilled, with the singer yearning for something that seems to evade him despite his best efforts.


Line by Line Meaning

I bought a castle in France, and
I acquired a grand home in France, and


It's the same one I built in the sand for you
It's the identical one that I created in the sand for you


When I was two
When I was a toddler


I thought I painted a picture of Heaven
I once believed I had an image of paradise


But it turns out it's just your room
But it was only your space all along


Just your room
Only your space


I'd run off the end of the earth
I'd go to the ends of the earth


Just to see if you'd catch me
Just to see if you'd be there to save me


When I know you'd let me fall every time
Even though I am aware that you would never catch me


All I do
All that I pursue


Is wish that I could change myself
Is hope to change myself


But wish that I could change my-
But I crave to change my-


All I do
All that I pursue


Is wait around and hate myself
Is wait and loathe myself


Oh, I hate the way
Oh, how much disdain I have


I need to be loved by you
I require your affection


I wish that I could change myself
I hope that I could reform myself


All I do
All that I pursue


Is wait around and hate myself
Is wait and loathe myself


Oh, I hate the way
Oh, how much disdain I have


I need to be loved by you
I require your affection


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(You)
(By you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


I remember when we started datin'
I recollect when we began dating


The only thing that you and me was chasin'
Our sole pursuit was each other


The kinda lovin' that they couldn't play with
A love built to last, impervious to outside forces


You know my lovin' is an everyday thing, baby
My love for you is consistent, every single day


And when we in different places
And when we are physically apart


Textin' and messagin' and talkin' crazy
Communicating through messages and saying wild stuff


When I'm with you, I feel like it's a daydream
Being with you feels surreal


That's how I know that you would always be my baby
This is how I know you will always be my beloved


I've walked a thousand miles
I've walked a thousand miles


I've opened every door
I've opened every door


It's not enough
It's still insufficient


It's still your love I'm always looking for
I'm still searching for your love


It's just the way I'm wired
It's just how I'm made


Whether I'm wrong or right
Regardless of my actions


I've only got one thing on my mind
You're the only thing on my mind


I need to be loved by you
I require your affection


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(You)
(By you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)


(I need to be loved by you)
(I long to be loved by you)

This is the best song on the album in my opinion it's very disappointing to see that a song like peaches which is kinda meaningless get that much of attention yet this masterpiece isn't getting enough appreciation

@user-vm9ed9bc1k

spill!

@alettacallula7807

Everyone has different tastes, so if peaches get more attention, it's mostly their taste for the song. Just saying.

@misshayley9603

Peaches doesn't have the same heart i agree
