[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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?
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

[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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? Yeah
[Bridge]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) Sick of bein' taken advantage by shitty guys
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) Tell me if you're one of 'em, I'm losin' my mind
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) Are you feeding me affection or just a bunch of lies?
Is it me? Is it you? I don't really got a clue
I don't got much left, but I might give it all to you
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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? Yeah

I'm so love-starved

Are you great or something new?
I'm so love-starved

Genius Answer
What did GAYLE say about "luv starved"?
Genius Answer
I wrote “luv starved” with Sara Davis and Jonny Shorr when I had made so many mistakes when it came to my relationships and love life. I pushed away every possibility of it away until somebody came into my life that I didn’t want to push away and I couldn’t tell if it would be worth it or not to open up myself to the possibility of caring about somebody deeply.
