Melt
rhyu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

your eyes
captivating
your laugh
so contagious
when you hold my hand
all i want to do is love you

it's infuriating

you're here
but so out of reach
if i were a man
would that change the way you feel

you can never know
that i think of you when i feel low
when i am alone
the hurt that i've felt
when you look at somebody else
i wish my feelings would melt

in my dreams
you seem
a little less cold
you hold me a little tighter
fire burning bright
i want you to see
this part of me
that yearns for you
but

you can never know
that i think of you when i feel low
when i am alone
the hurt that i've felt

when you look at somebody else
i wish my feelings would melt
