Desperate Hands Lyrics & Chords By Jarrod Gorbel

Well, it's been several hours since our incident
Clothes are torn, glass shattered
It was a year leading up to this event
She had a meltdown, cried wolf can't be trusted

'Cause you took the biggest knife in the kitchen you could find
Called the police and claimed that I was tryin'
Trying to kill you when in fact I was trying to save your life

You had me trapped in my own apartment
24 hours, dodging clenched fists
Scribbling letters, bidding your friends and family farewell

Desperate hands and a hollow heart
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me
No one will understand us
Feel less like her lover and more like her father

Are you gonna be a good girl?
Can you make me that promise, not to lash out on me?
How is that you made my life a living hell but still find you to be irresistible

Which of my things did you sneak out last night?
In hopes to bring us together one last time
Ransom being the only thing you ever loved

For weeks tend to thank her, the hatred overflow
The following week I needed you the moment I'm alone
Shared my friends before I lost them, my bed, my home, my life

Desperate hands and a hollow heart
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me
No one will understand us
Feel less like her lover and more like her father

Threatened to throw yourself out of the car
In rush hour traffic, 16 miles an hour

Desperate hands and a hollow heart
Whiskey unleash the beast starving inside of me
No one will understand us
Feel less like her lover and more like her father
