What I Deserve
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What I deserve is comfort for my shaken soul
The water on my hands are tears from long ago
And my skin let's it in it's always been too thin
Since I can't remember when
And oh what I deserve what I deserve what I deserve
Oh darling what I deserve what I deserve what I deserve
There's solace in this dusty earth and rocky hills
Yeah but even starry skies can't mend my broken will
And my blood doesn't pour there's nothing to bleed for
I don't believe anymore
And oh what I deserve what I deserve...
Now I have done the best I can
Oh but what I've done it's not who I am
And oh what I deserve
[ guitar ]
Now time has left me feeling old and losing hope
Hell I've walked a long way just to find the end of my rope
And you say that I should pray well I would but my faith has strayed
I don't belive I'll be saved
And oh what I deserve what I deserve...
