The Yearning. Lyrics

Forever waiting

For you to take me in

No, not you

A version of you

I want to see you so I can remember

I deserve nothing

And so my shriveling feels justifiable

When I do, I don't

Hate myself

As much as I did back then for not behaving well

For being jealous

Moody or illogical at times

But mostly, for not taking your shit

Even if it wasn't graceful

Even if it wasn't perfectly executed

Oh the pains of growth

Ohhhh!

I feel bad for my obsessed little friend

And how much of herself she would've given

To be seen

Yes, I feel bad for my distressed little friend

And how much she needed

And didn't know how to get

Get!

And we'all. We all

Despise the yearning

We'all. We all

Despise the yearning

But how else

Will we know

How to get

What we want?

Oh! And!

We'all. We all

Despise the yearning

We'all. We all

Despise the yearning

But how else

Will we know

What we want

What we want
