My Desire
Jordan James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ve tried to live life, with a smile on my face
But it seems like almost every single day
I wake up, am not okay (no, am not)
I just wanna live in the fake life
A person who lives don't make that fake live
I used to be so happy, what happened?
But I guess I've learnt one thing, that′s my lesson
My fire, it's going out, it′s so cold
This fire that kept me alive, now it's froze
This fire
Oh, this fire
I love to be the person to depend on
But am just trying hard enough to burn on
Oh, my fire
Gone like my desire
Open my eyes and realize am awake
I don′t have to live life like am a fake
I can sell desire to love the way
The way I am
I just wanna know that am breathing (am breathing)
It may not come out easy but am living
I can learn my worth and my purpose
I don't ever have to be perfect
I can′t hold on
My fire, it's going out, it's so cold
This fire that kept me alive, now its froze
This fire
Oh, this fire
I love to be the person to depend on
But am just trying hard enough to burn on
Oh, this fire is my only
My fire, it′s going out, it′s so cold
This fire that kept me alive, now it's froze
This fire
Oh, this fire
I love to be the person to depend on
But am just trying hard enough to burn on
Oh, this fire, is my only desire
(Desire to live,
Desire to give,
Desire to be,
The best part of me,
Desire to hope,
Would learn that I grow, (old),
Desire to know,
My desire potential)
(You have desire to live,
Desire to be who you wanna be,
Just do you)
My fire, it′s going out, it's so cold
This fire that kept me alive, now it′s froze
This fire
Oh, this fire
I love to be the person to depend on
But am just trying hard enough to burn on
Oh, my fire
Is my desire
It's my desire
