We Didn’t Deserve This

Lyrics

[INTRO – MALE] How do you forget something That keeps playing in your head? How do you move on When the damage hasn’t left? [VERSE 1 – MALE] I lie awake going over it again, Every word, every moment, every “why”. What did we do to deserve this? Why did you bring this into our lives? We gave you chances, we gave you trust, But you turned it into jealousy and dust. You watched what we had and wanted more, Then left us with a life we didn’t know anymore. [PRE-CHORUS – FEMALE] You poured your jealousy into everything, Turned something good into suffering. You played your games, you had your fun, Then left us with what you’d done. K WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! All the hurt, all the wasted time. You took what we worked so hard to build, You damaged everything and left us with the guilt. WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! We shouldn’t have to carry what was never ours. You made your choices, you made your mess, But we’re the ones left dealing with the rest. [VERSE 2 – MALE] The knife cut deep, deeper than you know, Some wounds don’t disappear when the bleeding stops. You played your games like none of it mattered, While everything around us fell apart. You took things we spent years working for, You damaged what we built behind closed doors. And your toxic ways felt like fighting a war, Every day another battle, always wanting more. [PRE-CHORUS – FEMALE + MALE] FEMALE: You wanted control, you wanted the power. MALE: You took our peace one hour at a time. FEMALE: You left your chaos at our door. MALE: But you don’t get to own our lives anymore. [CHORUS – BOTH] WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! All the hurt, all the wasted time. You took what we worked so hard to build, You damaged everything and left us with the guilt. WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! We shouldn’t have to carry what was never ours. You made your choices, you made your mess, But we’re the ones left dealing with the rest. [BRIDGE – FEMALE] I want to forget, I want to breathe, I want to wake up And not remember everything. [MALE] But every time we think it’s gone, Another memory comes along. We’re trying to let it go, Trying to leave it where it belongs. [BOTH – BUILD] Your jealousy isn’t ours to carry! Your anger isn’t ours to keep! Your choices aren’t our punishment! We’re taking back our peace! [BREAK – MALE] You played your games. You had your fun. You did what you did. [FEMALE] Now leave us alone. [FINAL CHORUS – MALE + FEMALE] WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! All the hurt, all the wasted time. You took what we worked so hard to build, But you don’t get to take the rest of our lives. WE DIDN’T DESERVE THE MESS YOU LEFT BEHIND! Your chaos isn’t ours to carry anymore. You made your choices, you made your mess, Now leave us alone and let us live our lives. [OUTRO – FEMALE] Leave us alone… [MALE] Let us live our lives. [BOTH] We didn’t deserve the mess you left behind.
