Desperately by Michelle Branch
Something 'bout the way you looked at me.
Made me think for a moment.
That maybe we were meant to be.
There's something that changed in Oliver's eyes in the way he looks at her. She could see longing and regret in them, and if she was fooling herself, she would also say love. But that couldn't be, she was only transferring her feelings on him. But there was something that she couldn't put her finger on, that kept her pinning for him. Maybe she really just wished that someone of his prestige would look at her in a manner of awe and lustful curiosity.
Living our lives seperately.
And it's strange that things change.
But not me wanting you.
So desperately.
"Hey. Because of the life that I lead, I just think that it's better to not be with someone that I could really care about."
Those words ringing in her ears, they bear the truth but it didn't keep the pain at bay. The petty part of her didn't think it was fair, he took chances with other women, albeit theyS all ended in the worst way possible. But how come she didn't fit, especially when she knew and understood him in ways that the others never did and never could. And she didn't think it was fair to him either, how could he live a life and total loneliness?
You looked my way and said "you frustrate me."
So desperately.
So desperately.
"But why her?"
Her voice sounded so desperate and she hated herself for it. But these three words simply spoke of everything she felt truthfully. But it frustrated her that out of any women he could've gone for, he chose her. Isabel didn't mean anything to him, it didn't mean anything, so why did it mean something to her? She wasn't naïve, especially after her experience in the arrow team, but she had hoped that eventually he would realize what have been in front of him. He would comprehend, that her feelings weren't just a school girl crush. What she felt for him had depth and meaning. But apparently, it was time for her to grow up.
Why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in but I should know better.
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked me.
She needed to detached herself, she needed space to move on. She wouldn't look at him with longing anymore, she would actually keep her hands to herself the best that she could. But because of her job and of their "activity" it was nearly impossible to not be surrounded by him, but she needed to find a way. So she distanced herself from him without it being too obvious. And maybe she could finally accept the advances of that tech guy at the office. She would have a great date with him, give him a good chance and she would keep herself from comparing him to Oliver. She couldn't stay on the same course, she couldn't keep on giving herself false hope. She just couldn't.
I want you so desperately.
I keep giving in but I should know better.
I keep giving in but I should know better.
It's so short but better short and good than long and just horrible!
