Feeling of Despair

Are you going to allow me to pursue my boredom in peace?
Are you planning on disrupting it at any point soon in the near future at least?
Are you saying you like me because you really like me and not 'cause you're alone and out of luck?
'Cause if you are, I understand, you need not hide behind the lie we both know we made up

Love, the feeling of despair becomes you
Love, loneliness is fair and forever latched onto you
Like the words that we exchanged in that dark room
Like the smiles we pretend we didn't force through
Like the burden of speaking and reaching out when you don't want to
And I don't want to if it's true

Are you going to allow me to pursue my Oscar-winning lie?
Are you planning on corrupting my lines, changing my mind, following blind too?
Are you saying you like me because you like me and not 'cause you're alone, lack in trust?
'Cause if you are, I understand, you need not hide, we both know the feeling of

Love, the feeling of despair becomes you
Love, loneliness is fair and forever latched onto you
Like the words that we exchanged in that dark room
Like the smiles we pretend we didn't force through
Like the burden of speaking and reaching out when you don't want to
And I don't want to if it's true

Love, despair
Love, loneliness
Love, the feeling of
Despair, loneliness is fair
The burden of speaking and reaching out
Hurting and screaming aloud
Tell me whether you care?
I don't want to
