Desperate, desperate...

You're reaching out, and no one hears you cry

You're freaking out again, cause all your fears remind you

And all the dream has come undone

You feel so small, then lost that you're the only one

You wanna scream, cause you're desperate

[Chorus]

You want somebody, just anybody

To lay the hands on your soul tonight

You want a reason to keep believing

That someday you're gonna see the light

You're in the dark, there's no one left to call

Your sleep's your only friend

But even sleep can't hide you

From all those tears and all the pain

And all the days you wasted pushing them away

It's your life, it's time to face it

[Chorus]

You want somebody, just anybody

To lay the hands on your soul tonight

You want a reason to keep believing

That someday you're gonna see the light

Cause you're desperate, desperate

Desperate, desperate

Cause you're desperate, desperate

Now

You know that things has got to change

You can't go back, you'll find your way

And day by day, you start to come alive

You want somebody, just anybody

To bring some peace to your soul tonight

You want a reason to keep believing

That someday you're gonna see the light

You want somebody, just anybody

To lay the hands on your soul tonight

You want a reason to keep believing

That someday you're gonna see the light
