13. Despair (song)
verse 1
I’ve never known loving arms
or loving hands that were true
I guess I thought that they belonged
to somebody like you
I don’t want you to leave
and I don’t want to
but I’m lost for words
and don’t know what to do
chorus
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you care?
I’ve spent some nights lonely
You could’ve been there
Now it’s my turn to give it up too
like a last longing glance
that came far too soon
I’m giving up on you.
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’m giving up on you
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’m giving up on you.
verse 2
I used to think love was true,
you were mine, I was whole
The three things that I knew
that made up my soul
Now I guess this is me
Begging you for a chance
I'm ashamed, on my knees
But you won't spare a glance
chorus
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you care?
I’ve spent some nights lonely
You could’ve been there
Now it’s my turn to give it up too
like a last longing glance
that came far too soon
I’m giving up on you.
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’m giving up on you
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’m giving up on you.
bridge
I’ll walk away quietly
Won’t put up a fight
All that falsified love
Was just a trick of the light
When I close doors
I don’t leave a crack
When my footsteps grow faint, well
I’m not looking back
