Deserve You
Unworthy Love: Mark Houston's Haunting Deserve You
Lyrics
You know it takes me by surprise
You are caught off guard, surprised by something unexpected.
Cause when I close my eyes it's you I see right by my side
When closing eyes, the person envisions you by their side till the end.
Till the end
Expressing commitment to stay together till the end.
But still I sit and bide my time
Despite the commitment, waiting patiently and delaying actions.
And I make my bed of lies while you wait patiently beside
Creating a deceptive situation and falsehoods while your partner waits.
It's alright you said
Reassurance that everything is fine, as per what you said.
So you said that you don't mind
Reiterating that your partner doesn't mind the unfulfilled promises.
That the promises I'd left to be broken still remain alive
Promises made are still alive in the partner's mind.
Inside your head
The unfulfilled promises linger in the partner's thoughts.
You're headed toward the light
Your partner is moving towards positivity and light.
And I will make damn sure that you never get there
Expressing a determination to prevent your partner's success or happiness.
If it's the last thing I do before I die
A strong commitment to obstruct your partner's path, even if it leads to personal sacrifice.
I don't deserve you
An acknowledgment that you feel unworthy of your partner.
No you deserve better than me
Acknowledging that your partner deserves someone better than you.
And when the storm brews high and proud
Referring to challenging times and conflicts.
When the earth collides and oceans rise
Symbolic description of intense and tumultuous situations.
You hold that candle high for me to find
Your partner supports you during difficult times.
For some reason you hang on tight
Despite your flaws, your partner holds on firmly.
And you justify and reason why
Your partner rationalizes and justifies staying despite your mistakes.
I let you down time and time again
Admitting repeated failures to meet expectations.
In a place among the pines I find that I'm looking for air
In a metaphorical setting, feeling suffocated and searching for relief.
And when it finally comes to pass I find that you, you're not here
Realizing the absence of your partner when needed the most.
Though I was never there for you my love you saw it through
Your partner, out of love, persevered despite your absence.
Now that you've gone I see so clearly I was the one who needed you
Clear realization that you needed your partner, now that they are gone.
Oh you know that I needed you
Acknowledging the dependency on your partner.
I don't deserve you
Reiterating the feeling of unworthiness towards your partner.
No you deserve better than me
Acknowledging that your partner deserves someone superior to you.
I don't deserve you
Repeating the sentiment of feeling undeserving of your partner.
No you deserve better than me
Reiterating that your partner deserves better than you.
