Desperate measures

DESPERATE MEASURES

Of all the things about you
I can’t 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
I’m gonna set you free

Lying here beside you
Knowing what you’ve gone
Desperate measures call for desperate means
Every waking hour, every wilted flower
Desperate measures call for desperate dreams

Don’t ever think I doubt you
Just give me time to get through
So I can be your friend
I’m 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……..
