Desire
Years & Years Tove Lo Lyrics

I must be tough
I need to be strong and resilient.

I must behave, I must keep fighting
I need to act correctly and keep progressing forward.

Don't give it up
Don't lose hope or faith.

I want to keep us compromising
I want us to find a way to meet in the middle.

Open your arms and pray
Accept and embrace the truth.

To the truth that you're denying
The truth you've been avoiding and denying.

Give in to the game
Submit to the rules and conventions.

To the sense that you've been hiding
Give in to the feelings you've been hiding.

Is it desire
Do I have a strong feeling of wanting?

Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
Or is it true love that I feel for you?

I want desire
I crave strong wanting or longing.

'Cause your love only gets me abused
True love doesn't always mean happiness and I only feel pain because of your love.

Only gets me abused
I only feel pain because of your love.

Give me that rush
I want to feel that feeling of intense excitement.

I want to show you what you've been missing
I want to make you see all the things you've missed out on.

Am I enough
Do I satisfy your needs and desires?

To keep your other lovers hidden
To continue our relationship in secret.

I wanna see what you're willing to lose
I want to test how much you value me and our relationship.
