Desperate Lyrics by Brittney Spencer

My Stupid Life

2024

[Verse 1]
You can show emotion but not too much
You either care too deep or not enough
Try not to fall or trust too quickly
If you follow his lead that'll make him happy
You're damned if you do and damned if you don't
Could say what I want but maybe I won't

[Chorus]
Is it too soon to tell you that I love you?
If I'm the one who says it first
Would that really be the worst?
I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth
Caught between the holding back
And worrying how you'll react
If I said I want you bad
Would that make me desperate?
(Oh) Oh

[Verse 2]
You know it's a risking to be yourself
And to be honest with somebody else
I fight like hell not to come off strong
But maybe all these rules, they all got it wrong
Somewhere down the line I fell in line
Learned how to hide
Forgot how to speak my mind

[Chorus]
Is it too soon to tell you that I love you?
If I'm the one who says it first
Would that really be the worst?
'Cause I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth
Caught between the holding back
And worrying how you'll react
If I said I want you bad
Would that make me desperate?
(Oh) Oh

[Bridge]
You know it's a fine line
Between honest and reckless
(Oh, oh)
I don't wanna speak too soon
'Cause I might wreck this, wreck this
(Oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Is it too soon to tell you that I love you
If I'm the one who says it first
Would that really be the worst?
I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth
Caught between the holding back
And worrying how you'll react
If I said I want you bad
If I said I want you bad
Would that make me desperate?
(Oh) Oh

[Outro]
'Cause baby, I'm not desperate
Does that make me desperate?
