Hope You Get What You Deserve Lyrics

Let's face the facts
You ain't coming back
Like a train down a track

So much I'd change
Even your last name
But it's way too late for that

While I'm sinking low
You're taking the high road
Hope you get what you deserve

And now our past
Like mental photographs
I picture you with me

As I lie awake
In the bed I've made
While you're fast asleep

It's a lesson that I've learned
And a peace of mind you've earned
Hope you get what you deserve

What goes and comes around.
Sure you've got it coming back to you.
Cause kharma has a funny way
Of settling all the things we do
And girl right now you know I hurt
But baby for what it's worth
I hope you get what you deserve

There's a world out there
It ain't all unfair
Full of beautiful things

And big or small
Hope you catch them all
While you're chasing your new dreams

With the hell you've endured
Go find heaven on earth
Hope you get what you deserve

What goes and comes around
Sure you've got it coming back to you.
Cause kharma has a funny way
Of settling all the things we do
And girl right now you know I hurt
But baby for what it's worth,
I hope you get what you deserve

Since you left me behind
Lord knows I got mine
Hope you get what you deserve
Hope you get what you deserve

I Hope You Get What You Deserve

Let's face the facts 
You ain't coming back 
Like a train down a track

So much I'd change 
Even your last name 
But it's way too late for that

While I'm sinking low 
You're taking the high road
Hope you get what you deserve

And now our past 
Like mental photographs 
I picture you with me

As I lie awake 
In the bed I've made 
While you're fast asleep

It's a lesson that I've learned 
And a peace of mind you've earned
Hope you get what you deserve

What goes and comes around. 
Sure you've got it coming back to you. 
Cause kharma has a funny way 
Of settling all the things we do 
And girl right now you know I hurt 
But baby for what it's worth
I hope you get what you deserve

There's a world out there 
It ain't all unfair 
Full of beautiful things

And big or small 
Hope you catch them all 
While you're chasing your new dreams

With the hell you've endured 
Go find heaven on earth
Hope you get what you deserve

What goes and comes around
Sure you've got it coming back to you. 
Cause kharma has a funny way 
Of settling all the things we do 
And girl right now you know I hurt 
But baby for what it's worth, 
I hope you get what you deserve

Since you left me behind 
Lord knows I got mine
Hope you get what you deserve 
Hope you get what you deserve

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.

The song starts off by saying how he knows the one he wants to be with is gone. The girl could've given him chances after he left her and he let her down so many times and now it is too late. She's given up and decided to move on. He realizes this and would do anything just to make things right. He'd marry her and make it up to her the rest of his life. But now she has a different dream and future in her heart and he's left dealing with the memories of her and him and even the future they could've had together. He's saying I hope you get what you deserve. You deserve the best from someone. You deserve all their love and loyalty. And I'm getting what I've had coming to me. You've earned your piece of mind and now I'm stuck here sleepless at night wishing I could fix my mistakes. But he can't. He's telling this girl that there is so much more to this world than the negative outlook he gave her. love isn't always unfair and that she can find strong and true love without him now. She's endured so much hurt from him, she earned someone to treat her right and to live the life that she should have. Karma has finally got him. He took advantage of her always being there and finally now she's gone. He now has to deal with losing her for good. He's telling her I wish the best for you because that's what you deserve. You've dealt with half my heart for so long and you deserve the full heart of someone that you love and I hope you get that. She left him behind and he finally got what was coming. Losing the love of his life and having to watch her begin a new life, a new future with possibly someone else. All he can do now is just realize what he's done and wish the best for her because she's loved him all along.
