Deserve

This could be good

Clean and uncomplicated

But I'm gonna run

'cause that's what I do

Don't get it confused

My heart is a marker tracing

Its want everywhere

Like a kid on a wall

But I know

I don't deserve you

The way of the world

We don't often get what we want

I'm used to the view

Of a good thing as it goes

And I know

I don't deserve you

Forgive me for having given up the ghost

My heart's a virus taken root

In a weary unwelcoming host

I've studied the map

I know where this whole thing's headed

And it's not your face

Not your smile that disarms

It's not your hands

Curving around my shoulders

No dim-lit dance

No one else in this dark

Forgive me for throwing in the towel too soon

I've lost this game too many times

Rather sit it out than sorely lose
