Loveless
Tokyo Wanderer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I ain't got nobody to share
I wanna be on my own
But I'm still made of bone
My eyes one day will turn to rust
I thought I could endure so much
I thought I wasn't human at all
Wish you would find me like I found you
Wish you would need me like I need you
Wish you would want me like I want you
I do
Because ain't nobody treatin me right
Looks like I'm going home alone with me tonight
Wish I could somehow try to get you off my mind
But it's all you, all you
Wish you would want me like I want you
Wish you would need me like I need you
Wish you would find me like I found you
I do
Wish you would find me like I found you
Wish you would need me like I need you
Wish you would want me like I want you
I do
Wish you would want me like I want you
Wish you would need me like I need you
Wish you would find me like I found you
I do

I thought I couldn't fucking care
I believed that I couldn't feel anything anymore
If I ain't got nobody to share
If I don't have anyone to be with
I wanna be on my own
I desire to be alone
But I'm still made of bone
But I'm still a human with emotions and feelings
My eyes one day will turn to rust
My eyes will eventually age and deteriorate
I thought I could endure so much
I used to believe I was strong enough to handle anything
I thought I wasn't human at all
I believed that I was not capable of feeling anything
But now I know, I know, I know
But now I understand that I do have emotions
Wish you would find me like I found you
I wish you would discover and appreciate me like I did you
Wish you would need me like I need you
I wish you would require me as much as I require you
Wish you would want me like I want you
I wish you would desire me as strongly as I desire you
Because ain't nobody treatin me right
Because nobody is treating me the way I deserve to be treated
Looks like I'm going home alone with me tonight
It seems like I'm going to spend tonight alone with myself
Wish I could somehow try to get you off my mind
I wish I could find a way to stop thinking about you
But it's all you, all you
But you're always on my mind, always
I do
I really do wish for all of these things
