Song Lyrics

What I deserve is comfort for my shaken soul
And the water on my hands are tears from long ago
And my skin let's it in, it's always been too thin
Since I can't remember when

And oh what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve
Oh darling what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve

There's solace in this dusty earth and rocky hills
Yeah but even starry skies can't mend my broken will
My blood doesn't pour, there's nothing to bleed for
I don't believe anymore

And oh what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve
Oh darling what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve

Now I have done the best I can
Oh but what I've done, it's not who I am
And oh what I deserve

Now time has left me feeling old and losing hope
Hell I've walked a long way just to find the end of my rope
And you say that I should pray, well I would but my faith has strayed
I don't believe I'll be saved

And oh what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve
Oh darling what I deserve, what I deserve, what I deserve
