song of deserving

I wish I couldn't have

laid it out so plainly

I know you're sad

and I can't even say I'm sorry


My mind has led me to believe

that my heart no longer serves a purpose

in saving yours


but why did I have to be at fault?

why did I have to be your downfall?

well

at least I'm all alone

again


at least I'm all alone

again


I don't deserve you

you don't deserve

this

waste of time

this shit of a rhyme


why can't you just hurt me

so I don't have to

why can't you just leave me

It's the worst thing I could do

why can't you just lie

Like I've done to your face


these eyes that once mesmerized me

now haunt my dreams

guilt

all my conscious breathes


I don't deserve you

you don't deserve me

and I don't wanna be

the end

the end of you and me


but I must be at fault

you'll find another girl to break your heart

the end of your fall

as I lay you down gently

sweetly

unfortunately

finally

it shatters.
