The National
Somebody Desperate
[Verse 1]
Why can't I say anything?
It never has no meaning
I can't breathe, I can't speak
I don't know what I'm feeling

[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do

[Verse 2]
You have no idea, do you?
But I do
I just don't know what to say
'Cause I'm so, so afraid

[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I'm somebody just like you

[Bridge]
I know you won't understand what I'm going through, but I do
Sometimes I think you're my twin, sometimes I'm so confused
[Chorus]
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do

[Outro]
I just don't wanna lose you
But I do
I always do
