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
