Owen - The Desperate Act Lyrics

Owen Lyrics

"The Desperate Act"

You were right, Babe
None of this means anything
There's so much more for us to be than seen

Somehow all of the sudden I find myself struggling
Two lives are too much and not enough
I concede this childish need for attention
It's the desperate act of a disappearing man
You'd better catch him while you can

What a mess
Past and present stitched together, perilously tethered
I ain't fooling anyone (least of all, me)
I'm calling in sick forever
And I'm calling bullshit on everyone
This is a test and I'm failing it

You were right, Babe
I love how you know me
I know how you love me
And I know how you long for this song to end
