Ready To Be Loved

I think I've worked it out
I think at last the cloud has moved aside
I've spent a lifetime waiting
Awoke today to find my arms are open wide
There comes a point when things aren't clear
Then they shift into perspective
All hesitation seems to disappear

I know I've found the way
I've finally found the way to let things go
The past is there to teach you
Mistakes provide the pain that helps you grow
So I have healed and I have grown
At some point I guess you have to
BUt I don't want to face the world on my own

Something has got to start
I am ready to be loved
Someone come steal my heart
I am ready to be loved
I know you'll find me it takes time
Today I know that I'm ready to be loved

I won't depend on you
I want comfort; I don't need a crush
I need to care for someone
And know that someone out there cares for me as much
I'm on a search for something great
I won't settle for contentment
Though I am willing to, I don't want to wait

Something has got to start
I am ready to be loved
Someone come stewal my heart
I am ready to be loved
I know you'll find me it takes time
Today I know that I'm ready to be loved

I was always the girl who thought she needed to be tough
I was never the girl who liked herself enough
To feel like she deserved someone who cares
But now I do, yes I do
I'm prepared
