​luv starved (love sick) - GAYLE

I was never shown how to love

So I did my best to guess

Everythin' a man ever wants

A tiny girl in a dress

A trophy for his friends

That I didn't even like, so

Tried to learn from mistakes

I haven't made one in months

But it's gettin' harder to take pushing away everyone

You just had to show up

(And yeah, I'm not mad about it)

Swear to God, I'ma change, but I'm agnostic

All the loneliness is gettin' so exhaustin'

Sick to my stomach, yeah, I'm feelin' kinda nauseous

And I can't tell if it's you

I'm so love-starved

Knowin' if I'm ready to trust you is goddamn hard

You're pickin' at skin and bones

I feel my lips, they're turning blue

Are you great or something new?

I'm so love-starved

(Are you actually my type or do I just need a bite?)

Is it the fact that you're there, do I actually care?

The potential of the latter's got me pullin' my hair out

I'm a skeleton of the love I once had

Yeah, it was so bad, but you're nothin' like that, yeah

Swear to God, I'ma change, but I'm agnostic (Ah)

All the loneliness is gettin' so exhaustin' (Ah)

Sick to my stomach, yeah, I'm feelin' kinda nauseous (Ah)

And I can't tell if it's you, 'cause

I'm so love-starved

Knowin' if I'm ready to trust you is goddamn hard

You're pickin' at skin and bones

I feel my lips, they're turning blue

Are you great or something new?

I'm so

(Oh-oh) I'm so love-starved

Sometimes it gets so damn hard

Also, my skin and bones

I'm so scared to end up alone

Talk me off a cliff and go ahead and push right off of it

I'm so scared, I'm, I'm, I'm aware, yeah

I'm, I'm, I'm on fire, I'm a fucking lie

I'm a maniac, I always laugh when I'm frustrated, uneducated, unmotivated

I want love that wants me back

But, I don't think that I know how to actually have it

Something good staring back at me

Swear everyone always fucking leaves when look you in the eyes

Only wanna to tell you lies, you look surprised

I hate my mind 'cause I'm so

Love-starved

I'm so, oh, love-starved
