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.
