What You Deserve

Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
Have you seen yourself in others’ eyes?
Have you seen yourself in the dark?
So then you know.
Is this what you deserve?

Have you heard yourself alone?
Have you heard yourself in a crowd?
Have you heard yourself in your head?
So then you know.
Is this what you deserve?

Have you felt like yourself here?
Have you felt like yourself there?
Have you felt like yourself anywhere?
So then you know.
Is this what you deserve?

Baby, you’re so much more
Than you ever thought,
Than you were ever told,
Than you imagined.
Is this what you deserve?

So why lay low?
So why play safe?
So why just go with the flow?
As you only know,
Is this what you deserve?

You deserve every sun
That you ever dreamed of,
That made your heart flutter,
That makes you who you are.
Is this what you deserve?

You deserve love
Of a lifetime,
Of a family,
Of crazy friends.
Is this what you deserve?

You deserve it all.
I deserve it all.
We all deserve it all.
So honestly reply,
Is this what you deserve?

  1. They say you get what you deserve, but personally I give most of the credit to circumstance and play with the cards I was dealt. Of course I like to deal the cards myself or at least make sure they’re well shuffled.
