Laurie Anderson
Hopeless
[Verse 1]
My head's such a mess
It's telling me that things are never getting better
My heart's still obsessed
With the promise that I'd always stand by you forever

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're just in there lying
Lying doing nothing
While I'm out here crying all alone
Am I out here fighting
Fighting over nothing?
'Cause I'm out here fighting on my own

[Chorus]
Tell me that you'll meet me halfway
Tell me baby, this time you'll change
Tell me that you want me again
Don't tell me it's hopeless
Tell me, am I asking too much?
Tell me that you love me enough
Please tell me that you're not giving up
Don't tell me it's hopeless

[Verse 2]
Why do I still laugh
When each time, I hope I never get an answer
How will we live
When it's only me that's holding us together?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're just in there lying
Lying doing nothing
While I'm out here crying all alone

[Chorus]
Tell me that you'll meet me halfway
Tell me baby, this time you'll change
Tell me that you want me again
Don't tell me it's hopeless
Tell me, am I asking too much?
Tell me that you love me enough
Please tell me that you're not giving up
Don't tell me it's hopeless

[Bridge]
Should I walk away, walk away?
'Cause you're breaking in anyway
Should I walk away, walk away?
'Cause you're breaking in anyway

[Chorus]
Tell me that you'll meet me halfway
Tell me baby, this time you'll change
Tell me that you want me again
Don't tell me it's hopeless
Tell me, am I asking too much?
Tell me that you love me enough
Please tell me that you're not giving up
Don't tell me it's hopeless
[Outro]
Should I walk away, walk away?
'Cause you're breaking in anyway
Should I walk away, walk away?
'Cause you're breaking in anyway
