"Somebody Desperate" is a song featured in the 2021 film Cyrano which plays over the film's end credits. It expresses the predicament of both Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) and Christian de Neuvillette (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), who collaborated to deceive Roxanne (Haley Bennett) about her love's identity.
Lyrics[]
Why can't I say anything
It never has no meaning?
I can't breathe, I can't speak
I don't know what I'm feeling
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do
You have no idea, do you?
But I do
I just don't know what to say
'Cause I'm so, so afraid
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I'm somebody just like you
I know you won't understand
What I'm going through, but I do
Sometimes I think you're my twin,
Sometimes I'm so confused
That wasn't me, I don't know who that was
That was somebody desperate, someone in love
Why can't I tell anybody the truth?
I'm somebody desperate, I don't know what to do
