Serves Me Right
Embracing Lessons in Love: 'Serves Me Right' by Garrison Starr
Lyrics
Of all the things that I could be doing
Reflecting on potential activities while occupied with a specific task.
I'm up hours trying to make something of you
Investing significant time and effort to build something meaningful related to another person.
I got a new set of strings, not a word to settle on
Having a fresh start, avoiding commitment to a specific idea or choice.
I been causing scenes at an ending I knew all along
Causing disturbances in a situation whose outcome was known from the beginning.
And it serves me right, I guess
Accepting the consequences, acknowledging it's deserved.
For gladly volunteering for a good kick in my chest
Volunteering for a painful experience, possibly related to a failed relationship.
It serves me right, I guess
Reiterating the acknowledgment of deserving the consequences.
For pretending not to notice I was settling for less
Pretending not to see the dissatisfaction in settling for less in a situation.
Fat and happy, fixed and puffed up for awhile
Being content and confident until a significant change occurs.
Nothing could shake me, that is, until you changed your smile
Experiencing a shift in emotions due to a change in someone's expression or demeanor.
Suddenly, I'm defenseless and defamed
Becoming vulnerable and criticized without defense.
While you get everything you want without giving up your game
Observing someone gaining advantages without sacrificing anything.
It serves me rightâ?¦
Repeating the acceptance of deserved consequences.
And I can't seem to get clean from the magic you bring
Struggling to overcome the impact of a captivating influence.
Yeah, I'm easy for ever spending time so carelessly
Regretting spending time thoughtlessly, particularly for someone else.
Just living for your line
Living solely for the attention or approval of a specific person.
And I'm crazy for thinking love has changed
Feeling irrational for believing that love has transformed.
Still trading all my finest hours for one ordinary day
Continuing to sacrifice valuable time for a seemingly ordinary day.
It serves me rightâ?¦
Reiterating the acceptance of consequences, suggesting a recurring theme.
