Stage of grief: Acceptance “I wish I could go back and save them for someone better, someone who would’ve stayed and never let us fall apart” {lyrics} Verse 1: I told my friends I’d marry you some day Cause loving you was steady, safe, and sure Funny how the person I trusted with my whole heart Turned into the one thing I can’t recover from Pre-Chorus: I could lie and say I didn’t mean it all Say that it was just young love talking Chorus: But I meant every word, I just wish you deserved them All the songs and promises I wrote for back then And the worst part is I still don’t regret loving you I just hate that I can’t take those words back from you Verse 2: I wish I could unsend everything I texted you Not because they weren’t true But because I hate that all my sweetest words are tied to someone Who walked away so easily after hearing one Pre-Chorus: I could lie and say I didn’t mean it all Say that it was just young love talking Chorus: But I meant every word, I just wish you deserved them All the songs and promises I wrote for back then And the worst part is I still don’t regret loving you I just hate that I can’t take those words back from you Bridge: I wish I could take every word I ever gave you Fold them back into my chest and start again And now I wish I could go back and save them for someone better Someone would’ve stayed and never let us fall apart Chorus: But I meant every word, I just wish you deserved them All the songs and promises I wrote for back then And the worst part is I still don’t regret loving you I just hate that I can’t take those words back from you
Me for the guitar, lyrics, and vocals {info} Run time - 2:58 Key - E major BPM - 85 {note} “You Don’t Deserve Them” is the last track on “grief” and was written after looking back at all the cards, songs, and promises I made for someone I thought would be in my life forever. It’s about the acceptance that although every word was genuine, the person I gave them to didn’t treat my heart with the same care. This song isn’t about accepting the end of the relationship, because even now, I’m not totally sure I am. It’s about accepting that the person you chose wasn’t right for you, even though that really hurts. I hope you enjoy “You Don’t Deserve Them”! <333
