Andre Lawson - I Deserve Better

Intro

I gave you everything...

But I forgot about myself.

Verse 1

I gave you all the love I had,

Even when the days were bad.

I stood beside you through the rain,

But all you gave me back was pain.

I kept forgiving all your lies,

Kept believing every alibi.

But now I see what I couldn't see,

You never gave the same to me.

Pre-Chorus

I'm done with all the tears,

I'm done with wasting years.

It's time I put myself first,

Before this love makes things worse.

Chorus

I deserve better, better than this,

Better than a love that doesn't exist.

I deserve somebody who will stay,

Someone who won't throw my heart away.

I deserve better, now I know,

It's time to let this old love go.

I gave you everything I had,

But losing you ain't gonna make me sad.

Verse 2

I won't be waiting by the phone,

I won't be sitting here alone.

You had your chance to make things right,

But I'm walking out tonight.

I gave you chances, gave you time,

You kept on crossing every line.

Now I'm finally seeing clear,

I don't need you standing here.

Bridge

I found my strength, I found my way,

I'm not the man I was yesterday.

No more begging, no more pain,

I won't go through this again.

Final Chorus

I deserve better, better than this,

I'm walking away from a love like this.

I deserve somebody true,

Someone who won't put me through

All the things you put me through.

Outro

I deserve better...

And now I know it.
