Erin Nightingale Lyrics - Do You Deserve a Song

Erin Nightingale - Do You Deserve a Song

Do you deserve a song
The one you've wanted for so long
Do you deserve my words
Articulate or terse
When I've finally locked the door
You're not coming anymore
After all is said and done
Will your song be this one
You might have had an ardent ballad, redolent with bliss
But Despair is a jealous man and he's consumed my mind with this

I'm through! Fed up with always waiting 'round for you
Done praying that you'll finally come through
You've made you're choice, so now I'll make mine
So long! Take all the baggage you have brought to me
A new world's opened up to welcome me
And someday soon my stars will align

Right now my mind is filled with flame
And I daily taste your name
You never leave me, though you've gone
My renegade, you've moved on
On the steps at midnight I left my shoe
And stood at half way, praying for you
But you just shook your head and tossed it out
Now the shards blow vainly about
Justify to me the last four years: did they mean a thing to you
Are your words as good as broken glass? Has your memory shattered, too

Come on! Were we not friends, or was that all a lie
Now I'm alone. You never said good-bye
I guess I wasn't worth it to you
So fine! A heartless man deserves a heartless maid
You're not worth my heart or worth my time of day
I've done what any woman should do

We might have been a mass explosion
A fire, consuming the night
Spreading through the endless universe
Until everything was light
Instead we are a lonely spark
Doused for eternity
In a pointless, muddy spattering
Of tepid apathy
My regrets are countless as the sands upon every ocean shore
What we might have been and should have been will haunt me evermore

But I, I know that someday I'll get over it
I'll find a better love and conquer it
I have a lot more strength than you'd know
Someday, my prince will come and he will cherish me
He'll be the man so I don't have to be
And off into the sunset we'll go

I am sure someone will supersede you, the question now is When
I know now that I do not need you, though my heart will not amen

Endless questions stab my heart
How can I live my life apart
From my best friend, the one I've loved
For years and years and years
How could he? And why would he
So rapidly forget of me
His promises still pound like drums, resounding in my ears
Resounding in my ears
Leave me here, and for the final time. I won't hear a sentence more
You have been deleted from my life; I don't know you anymore

I'm through! Fed up with always waiting 'round for you
Done praying that you'll finally come through
You've made you're choice, so now I'll make mine
So long! Take all the baggage you have brought to me
A new world's opened up to welcome me
And someday soon my stars will align

Do you deserve a song
Do you deserve this song
Do you deserve my song
