You Deserve This Lyrics

Short story from the one who wrote this
And you're a stranger they know well

You read their mind and left your life an open book
Now you want to die in some hotel

You deserve this
You deserve this
You deserve this
You deserve this

God damn, in some respect you've earned it
Who wants to change this bogus world?

Hey mom it's me or someone on our window sill
Yell I ain't disturbing your quiet numb

If something gets lost
If something breaks, I'll be wide awake

Not that this revelation's changing anyone at all

And all of your new friends, they seem boundless
And all of that money spends you flat

I'm sure that something bad will come of this review
Some past due like karma or revenge

I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this
I deserve this

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is all about guilt. Someone who wants so much out of life realizes that they really got what they had coming to them.

Wow. Guilt possibly. Feeling guilty that they have "wasted" their lives yet become a success. But what do you think they really believe they deserve? I think they mean death, but then again... im pretty morbid.

This song is about feeling like a disappointment. At the same time resenting the people you feel you've disappointed, and probably rightfully so... but it doesn't stop the guilt, and probably rightfully so.
