I Don't Deserve You

I don’t know what I did

And I don’t know what I will do

I don’t know who I am

Or what I have been

 

I have no idea where I have been

But I am lost in your eyes again

 

I don’t know where we could go

And I don’t know how much I could show

I have this feeling inside of me

That’s just waiting to explode

So much love…

 

It’s hard enough just to breathe

When it’s only you and me

I can’t explain myself

I can’t explain anything at all

 

All I know

Is that I don’t deserve you at all

You’re so perfect in everyway

And my heart sinks when you say

You love me…

 

I don’t know how long

I could hold on to your hand

I don’t know how far
I would walk barefoot on frozen land

But for you my love,

I would do it all

So that when you say “I love you”

I know I did something right

 

I don’t know what I did

And I don’t know what I would do

There’s something more

To every emotion I show you

But I am afraid I cannot explain my love

All I know is that it radiates off of your skin

 

 

 

And when you touch my hand

You make it harder to stand

And when you look in my eyes, Darci

I get lost in the swirl of their beauty

And I have loved you

Since the first time I tasted your lips

I swear I saw sparks

And every moment that I lay in your arms

There is nothing more I could ever want

 

But I have tried to say

Exactly how I feel

But it never comes out right

And the words don’t seem real

I could tell you I love you

But that doesn’t mean as much as I know I feel

 

It’s hard enough just to breathe

When it’s only you and me

I can’t explain myself

I can’t explain anything at all

 

All I know

Is that I don’t deserve you at all

You’re so perfect in everyway

And my heart sinks when you say

You love me…

 

…anyone can say the words we do, but how many of them mean it the way we do…

This is pathetic

Sorry to be so harsh but when someone makes you feel not good enough it is their fault, not yours. Usually they are a "player" who keeps many more women than you on tap. Stop being a victim cheers, Jess
