Desperado


You told me

That a small part of me wishes you’d just leave already

Because I’m suffering and emotionally unsteady

You told me that you make it worse

You keep me alive and to me that’s a curse

You said that to me living hurts and it would be easier to die

I hate to break it to you

But that’s the truth

That’s exactly how I feel inside

I love you to the moon

But sometimes I wish we never met

Because if we didn’t I wouldn’t be in this mess

I wouldn’t be full of regret

I wouldn’t feel stuck

If only I could forget

Everywhere we’ve been

Everything we’ve seen

Everything we’ve fought

Everything we’ve thought

Cause then maybe I’d be free

From this desperado inside of me

And I could go to a place

Where no one could trace

And I could be at home

Where is anywhere that I am alone
