You Deserve A Better Man
Deserving More: A Melodic Plea for Authentic Connection
Lyrics
I'm sitting on my own, and
I'm alone and reflecting on my situation
I see you both standing over there
I see you with someone else in the distance
I pretend I'm on my phone
I pretend to be occupied with my phone
To make it seem like I don't really care
Creating a facade to appear indifferent
It's the middle of the night
It's late at night
And I'm trying to fight
Struggling with inner conflict
The urge, just wanna call your name
Feeling the urge to call your name
Cause I don't want to play no games
Rejecting the idea of playing games
I just want you to see me for who I am
Desiring to be seen for who I am
I'm not saying we're soul mates
Clarifying we're not necessarily soul mates
I just think you deserve a better man
Believing you deserve a better man
And when you feel like you're worth nothing greater than a one night stand
When you feel worthless, reaching out for you
I'll be reaching out for you
Expressing commitment to being there
Cause you deserve a better man
Affirming that you deserve a better man
Come with me, and I'll take you
Inviting you to a place for conversation
To a place were we can talk about
Where we can discuss how you're doing
How you're doing
Emphasizing the difficulty of being alone
It's not easy, when you're alone
In a broken and crowded town
In this crowded broken town
Reiterating the late hour
It's middle of the night
Observing an intimate situation
And see how tight he has his hands around your waist
Expressing discomfort with the scene
It's middle of the night and this don't feel right
Feeling that something is not right
No
Emphatically saying "No"
Cause I don't want to play no games
Reiterating the refusal to play games
I just want you to see me for who I am
Desiring to be seen for who I am
I'm not saying we're soul mates
Clarifying we're not necessarily soul mates
I just think you deserve a better man
Believing you deserve a better man
And when you feel like you're worth nothing greater than a one night stand
When you feel worthless, reaching out for you
I'll be reaching out for you
Expressing commitment to being there
Cause you deserve a better man
Affirming that you deserve a better man
Woah, you deserve a better man
Emphatic expression that you deserve a better man
Woah, yeah you deserve a better man
Repeating the sentiment that you deserve a better man
Music's loud
Commenting on the loud music
Can't think straight
Feeling disoriented due to the noise
Already missed the last night train
Already missing the last night train
Music's loud
Reiterating the loud music
Playing songs I hate
Disliking the songs being played
Let's save this party for another day
Suggesting to postpone the party
Cause I don't want to play no games
Reiterating the refusal to play games
I just want you to see me for who I am
Desiring to be seen for who I am
I'm not saying we're soul mates
Clarifying we're not necessarily soul mates
I just think you deserve a better man
Believing you deserve a better man
And when you want to leave this place
Offering support when you want to leave
You know I'll be there if you ask
Committing to being there if asked
I'll be reaching out for you
Reaching out for you when needed
Cause you deserve a better man
Expressing commitment that you deserve a better man
