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??..
