Jon Foli - Desires Lyrics

Yeah
This shit ain't fair

Are you never happy
Despite my efforts to keep my wants and needs secondary
I keep the hurt to myself I nurse it alone
Never asked for help and I always show up looking merry
You did nothing to merit center stage in my life
And in yours I could only hope that you would treat me same
That's the thing about expectation
It leaves the purest hearts broken and open to tribulations
The hope that you would change is what kept me sane
Your beauty was blinding, I should've stuck in my lane
Yeah
I should've stuck in my lane
Got me feeling I would've been better off being struck by a train

If I couldn't hear would you scream you love me
If I couldn't hear would you scream you love me
If I couldn't feel would you show you care
If I couldn't feel would you show you care
If I were gone would you treat me better
If I were gone would you treat me better
If I were dead would you love me then
If I were dead would you love me then

You're so selfish with your thoughts
You're so childish with you ways
I can't deal with your desires
I can't, no more

Life is so ironic
You see the least of our actions become symbolic
It takes sadness to know what happiness is
Noise to really appreciate the silence

And absence to value presence
And it's in that void, that's where we learn our lesson
Then we evolve and proceed to change our fate
But with us it just might be too late now

If I couldn't hear would you scream you love me
If I couldn't hear would you scream you love me
If I couldn't feel would you show you care
If I couldn't feel would you show you care
If I were gone would you treat me better
If I were gone would you treat me better
If I were dead would you love me then
If I were dead would you love me then

It's unfair how you treat me
Unfair how you treat me
You promised we'll be together
But this ain't forever
This ain't forever

You're so selfish with your thoughts
You're so childish with you ways
I can't deal with your desires
I can't, no more
