Lyrics

Deserve Better

Girl I've become, girl I've become
Girl I've become, girl I've become

Let me ask you first
What did you think when you saw me?
Was I something that you wanted?
Or only just another cure for lonely?
Another you don't plan on catching after throwing? No
Spent a lot of time, fixing my heart
Gathering my peace of mind
And I worked so goddamn hard

Now I love the girl I've become (girl I've become)
Now I love the girl I've become, no, no, no (girl I've become)
I finally know the wrong that was done
Finally, know the wrong that was done
And I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better, yeah, yeah
I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better

Now let me get this straight
You said you had ideas for us
Wanted to travel the world
And provide a shield for all of the crazy things
That come with this game we play
All this other shit that the people say is
They don't know how we live
They don't know how we love
You said it so well can't believe I was so dumb
But all I'm tryna say is I'm not crazy
I finally know my self-worth baby

Now I love the girl I've become (girl I've become)
Now I love the girl I've become, no (girl I've become)
I finally know the wrong that was done
Finally, know the wrong that was done
And I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better
I deserve better, better, better
I deserve better, yeah, yeah

Ooh, I deserve, I deserve, nah
I deserve better baby
Yeah, yeah
