The National - Somebody Desperate Lyrics

The National Lyrics

"Somebody Desperate"
(from "Cyrano" soundtrack)

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

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

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

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

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

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

I just don't wanna lose you
But I do
I always do
