Who will love me when no one has so far

Verse 1

At four years old put me up for adoption,

Said I’d be better, that it was the option.

I kept a small key from the room I’d known,

A lock with no door, but it felt like home.

Verse 2

I wondered what crime a child could commit,

To be told goodbye cause I was unfit.

The silence was louder than any word,

“Who will love me”—but no one heard.

Pre-Chorus 1

Was I ever a child, or just someone’s mistake

How much can a soul be asked to take

Chorus 1

I’ve been searching my whole life long,

For a place where my heart belongs.

I prayed to a God beneath the stars,

Who will love me when no one has so far

Still I’m holding this key I’ve known,

Praying a heart will claim me as home.

Cause together is easier than alone.

Verse 3

I pushed and I fought, I kicked at the wall,

Hoping someone might want me after all.

But when it grew heavy, they sent me away,

Packed up my childhood, no reason to stay.

Verse 3 Alt

Love is like French, they say learn it young,

Without it the words feel heavy on the tongue.

I spoke in silence, I spoke in scars,

Asking, “Who will love me when no one has so far”

Verse 4

Boarding school gates swallowed me whole,

Ten long years of body and soul.

I learned to survive, to fight for my bed,

But never understood what the lessons said.

Verse 5

At school I was youngest, the target, the prey,

Mocked in the dark till I wanted to fade.

Under my pillow where no one could see,

I held to the weight of that little old key.

Pre-Chorus 2

Do the roots still matter if the tree’s been torn

Can love be planted where none was born

Chorus 2

I’ve been searching my whole life long,

For a place where my heart belongs.

I prayed to a God beneath the stars,

Who will love me when no one has so far

Still I’m holding this key I’ve known,

Hoping this key will lead me home.

Cause together is easier than alone.

Verse 6

“Who will love me when no one has so far”

The nights were cold, the rules were steel,

Every scar a secret I learned to conceal.

I prayed to a God beneath the same stars,

“Who will love me when no one has so far”

Verse 7 Alt

Each time I settled, the roots didn’t last,

Friendships were broken, torn out too fast.

I became a bush with roots too thin,

Pulled up and cast to the wind again.

Verse 7

After school exile, a plane took me far,

Another farewell, another scar.

I clutched that old key though it opened no door,

Carried the weight till my hands were sore.

Verse 8

I made it through with my fists and my feet,

Learned how to hustle, survive, compete.

But deep in my chest the same old scar:

“Who will love me when no one has so far”

Pre-Chorus 3

If the past was a sentence, am I still on trial

Will I ever be worthy, if I walk that mile

Chorus 3

I’ve been searching my whole life long,

For a place where my heart belongs.

I prayed to a God beneath the stars,

Who will love me when no one has so far

Still I’m holding this key I’ve known,

Hoping the night will give way to dawn.

Cause together is easier than alone.

Bridge

All the doors that closed, all the years I bled,

Led me to wonder if love was dead.

The boy who was lost kept chasing that star,

“Who will love me when no one has so far”

Verse 9

Years rolled on like a runaway train,

Jobs and faces, joy and strain.

Every hand I shook, every bed I shared,

Still searching for someone who truly cared.

Verse 10

I built a fortress out of doubt and stone,

Told myself I was safer alone.

But cracks ran deep, the walls gave way,

To a hope that never learned to stay.

Pre-Chorus 4

Is family chosen or etched in blood

Can I rebuild bridges washed out in the flood

Chorus 4

I’ve been searching my whole life long,

For a place where my heart belongs.

I prayed to a God beneath the stars,

Who will love me when no one has so far

Still I’m holding this key I’ve known,

Praying for love I can call my own.

Cause together is easier than alone.

Verse 11

Then she appeared like a light in the rain,

A voice that soothed, a touch that remained.

For the first time ever, my guard was undone,

Two broken pieces fused into one.

Verse 12

We carved a home from the dust and the years,

Held each other through laughter and tears.

No papers, no contracts, no threats to revoke,

Just vows in the silence our hearts both spoke.

Verse 13

Now when she smiles, the key finally turns,

The door I’ve dreamed of, the home my heart yearns.

I carried it locked through the years I’d roamed,

Together is easier — I’ve found my home.

Pre-Chorus 5

I held that small key though the door was long gone,

It unlocks the place where my heart belongs.

Chorus 5

I’ve been searching my whole life long,

For a place where my heart belongs.

I prayed to a God beneath the stars,

“Who will love me when no one has so far”

Now I’ve found her, I’ve found my home,

She gave me roots where I’d only roamed.

That little key has finally found home—

Together is easier than alone.

Outro

Let the past keep its shadowed tone,

I’m done with exile, I’ve found my home.

Her eyes remind me I’m not on my own,

Together is easier than alone.

Outro Alt

All the doors that closed, all the years I bled,

Left me illiterate in what hearts said.

But love found a teacher, it broke down the bar—

Now someone loves me when no one had so far.
