You Deserved It All
Here I am

Still exhausted
What's a perfect sleep?
My eyelids sit perfectly on a bridge in my dreams
When I wake up you bolted,
and I'm forced to remember
You left me
Here I am
In a ball on the floor
If anyone asks
I can't breathe anymore
Here I am
I'm a stop gap
The one that showed you
You deserved it all
Still exhausted
Taking this week by week
All of this has effectively ended my winning streak
The lesson is duly noted,
as I'm forced to remember
You left me
Here I am
In a ball on the floor
If anyone asks
I can't breathe anymore
Here I am
I'm a stop gap
The one who showed you
You deserved it all
