Nate Bucklin - Afraid of the Desperate lyrics



Verse 1:
There is a man one of a thousand such
As solitary as a man can get
With all the strength of heart and mind
He searches for and hopes to find
His true love, but he hasn’t found her yet
Sometimes he’s shy and self effacing
Or comes on strong and never makes amends
But no one can reciprocate
And all he does is alienate
The women of the world who choose their friends
(Because they’re all)

Chorus:
Afraid of the desperate
Afraid of the alone
Those who because of how they feel
Will clutch you in the arms of steel
And treat you like the only love they've known
Afraid of the desperate
Afraid of the intense
Afraid of those who care so much
In word and deed and thought and touch
That anything but running makes no sense

Verse 2:
I knew a man seven years ago
One of the kindest and gentlest of men
Now I call his name in vain
Wishing I could just explain
That I feel today the way he must have been
He died the day before his birthday
We loved him, no one had to fake their grief
But after all he pain and thunder
Sometimes bitterly I wonder
If a few among us also felt relief
(Because they were)

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
The gathering is ending for it’s midnight
On a clouded and romantic night like this
Shadow patterns on the ceiling
No one asks me how I’m feeling
While I’m leaning back here watching my friends kiss
The loneliness can get overwhelming
Sometimes I feel I’m at the end of my rope
But as down the hall I stare
A soothing voice comes through the air
And tells me gently where there’s life there’s always hope
(Although you’re all)

Repeat Chorus
