DESPERATE MEASURES
Of all the things about you
I cant seem to get through
To your wounded soul
I never could imagine
Just what it was that happened
That made you so cold
Carrying that load
Ready to explode
You lash out at me
Im gonna set you free
Lying here beside you
Knowing what youve gone
Desperate measures call for desperate means
Every waking hour, every wilted flower
Desperate measures call for desperate dreams
Dont ever think I doubt you
Just give me time to get through
So I can be your friend
Im not here to judge you
Just want a chance to love you
Pull you back from the edge
Desperate measures, desperate dreams
I want to love you
I want to feel you loving me
Desperate measures, desperate dreams
With the challenges we face in life
I just want to be
Lying here beside you.
