"Deserve" lyrics

"Deserve"

I wanna leave, I wanna run for something truer than I've known
I've got a delicate ambition in a town that I've outgrown
And I hold it close, I'm gonna need it now
I've had some momentary bliss, although it didn't stick around
'Cause where I'm from, we keep our dreams inside or buried in the ground
They're lying dead and cold 'cause no one knew their worth
Stories that go untold without a final verse

Tell me where we go from here
We know it's gonna end in tears
So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
Oh, I promise you I'd bleed for your love
I don't wanna look back now
It's only gonna weigh me down
So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
It's everything that you deserve
Oh, I promise you I'd bleed for your love

I got a cellar full of melodies that no one's ever heard
I write these sonnets on my ceiling, and I can't recall a word
Hell, I'm packing up the car while the fire still burns
I can't take one more day
Hiding from a dream for the fear that it won't work

Tell me where we go from here
We know it's gonna end in tears
So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
Oh, I promise you I'd bleed for your love
I don't wanna look back now
It's only gonna weigh me down
So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
It's everything that you deserve
Oh, I promise you I'd bleed for your love

Tell me where we go from here
We know it's gonna end in tears
So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
I promise you I'd bleed for your love
I don't wanna look back now
It's only gonna weigh me down

So while I'm living, darling, you can have it all
It's everything that you deserve
I promise you I'd bleed for your love
I promise you I'd bleed for your love
