What We Deserve

You'll listen to the ways you did me wrong.
How dare you tell me that I don't belong?
You'll get what you deserve.
For now, I'll try to preserve.

Preserve the words for someone that listens.
I'll save them for someone who glistens.
Glistens at the thought of having me.
Someone who I can actually believe.

Someone that won't make me cry.
Someone who knows when my smile is a lie.
Someone who can see behind my eyes.
Someone who won't think about goodbyes.

I don't deserve the tears.
I deserve who's here.
One day, you'll actually want to listen.
Leave a note because I'm not in.

We'll get what we deserve.
Karma knows what to serve.
Let's see what's on your plate.
You're sorry? Oops, too late.
