Desperate.

Lifetime in a summer album was all songs about either friendship or heartbreak. This was written for a crush I had at the time. Original by Layla-Ruth

Lyrics:

Love is a sickness and you know why I am I’ll
Love is a blinder and you know for what id kill
Love isn’t gentle look at the state I’m in
But love is toying with me cause I’m so aware of this

But these words don’t resonate with you to pity my broken heart
These words don’t mean anything as they ricochet off these walls

Cause I wanna be your favorite color but I wanna be so much more
And I wanna be the one you bother cause at least then you’d look at me
And can’t you see I’m desperate to have your lips spill my name
Can’t you see I’m desperate but I’m ready to get hurt
And I don’t need to be comforted I’m straining my patience if it ever existed
Cause I can’t be yours
Yours
Oh I’m desperate

City beach sidewalks neighborhood night talks I’m hurting over missed company
I ask you hypotheticals just so that you don’t know how your eyes make me weak
You tell me that it’s easy but your stare only hurts me cause I can’t be honest
I’m nervous and I’m aching but really I’m just saying I’m a coward to the truth

But these words don’t resonate with you to pity my broken heart
These words don’t mean anything as they ricochet off these walls

Cause I wanna be your favorite color but I wanna be so much more
I wanna be your favorite color but I wanna be so much more

Countless sleepless nights in your name you don’t even know
There’s pleas at the back of my throat I’m afraid they’ll scream if I even breathe
And I’m desperate
I’m desperate
I’m desperate to be yours

But these words don’t resonate with you to pity my broken heart
These words don’t mean anything to you at all
