Desperate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can taste something bitter in the sweetness
There's an aching in my lungs, 'cause I'm not breathing
I break myself to pieces, test my patience
Craving just a little validation
When will I start feeling like I'm good enough for you
Only happy if you're happy for me
Dying every second you ignore me
When did I become so desperate?
Now all my self-worth depends on you
When did I become so desperate?
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
Desperate, desperate (Oh, when did I become?)
Break the mirror on my bedroom door
How much longer can I do this for, do this for?
Scared that nothing that I say is gonna convince me
Need to hear it come from you, or I don't sleep
I spend my free time wishing I was different
New identities and new beginnings
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
When did I become so desperate?
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
Break the mirror on my bedroom door
How much longer can I do this for, do this for?
(When did I become so)
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you can love me more
When did I become so desperate?
Break the mirror on my bedroom door
When did I become so
When did I become so
Hate myself so you can love me more
I need you to love me, love me, love me
