[Verse 1]

Throw a dog a bone, I'll take it if I have to

Go real fast like there's somewhere we can get to

What's the use of standing right there on the edge if there ain't nowhere to fall?

What's the use in hanging on tight to the phone if nobody might call?

[Chorus]

Desperation

There's danger in frustration

Complicated words slipping off of your tongue and ain't one of them the truth?

I'm still desperate for you

[Verse 2]

Tell it like a lie, live it like a movie

Give a heart away like it don't mean nothing to me

What's the use in making all the plans that we made if you weren't gonna go?

What's the use of slapping on a smile for a face if your eyes don't wanna show?

[Chorus]

Desperation

There's danger in frustration

Complicated words slipping off of your tongue and ain't one of them the truth?

I'm still desperate for you

[Bridge]

Well, it's too damn bad you didn't have a chance to make me your best friend

You were too caught up in giving too much up and not doing what you should have been

[Chorus]

Desperation

There's danger in frustration

Complicated words slipping off of your tongue and ain't one of them the truth?

I'm still desperate for you
