Desperate Lyrics by Ashlynn Malia

rather be alone

0

[Verse 1]
I can taste something bitter in this sweetness
There's an aching in my lungs 'cuz I am 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Only happy if you're happy for me
Dying every second you ignore me
Now all my self worth depends on you

[Chorus]
When did I become so desperate?
When did I become so insecure?
I hate myself so you could 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)

[Verse 2]
Scared that nothing that I say it's gon' convince me
Need to hear it come from you or I don't sleep
I spend my freetime wishing I was different
New identities and new beginnings
I don't know what I'm supposed to do

[Chorus]
When did I become so desperate
When did I become so insecure
I hate myself so you could love me more
When did I become desperate
Break the mirror on my bedroom door
How much longer can I do this for(do this for)

(when did I become so)

[Outro]
When did I become so insecure
I hate myself so you could love me more
When did I become so desperate, yeah
I break the mirror on my bedroom door
When did I become so, when did I become so
Hate myself, so you could love, me more
I need you to love me, love me, love me
