A bowl of dark red cherries on the table
I let myself have a taste when I can
I just want a taste, I just wanna taste it
And get some joy
I'm waiting for a rich moment I can savour
I get myself just a little bit ahead
I just want a piece, and I just want some peace of mind
And I've been searching my whole life
For something that can satisfy
But I'm denied
And I've been trying to get it right
To make up for your sacrifice
Well, have I?
Tell me I deserve it, tell me that I'm worth it
That I got what's mine and I damn well earned it
What you want, what you need, gotta work it
Just give me some permission to give up the addiction
To get a little bit of what I've been giving
Tell me that I earned, tell me I, I, I
I deserve it
Ooh yeah
Another late night burning that candle
I tell myself that it's only for a while
But I don't wanna wait, there's gotta be a way to get some joy
I wanna taste all the fruits of my labor
I tell myself "you can sleep when you're dead"
So I watch it go to waste like the cherries on the table
And I've been searching my whole life
For something that can satisfy
But I'm denied
And I've been trying to get it right
To make up for your sacrifice
Well, have I?
Tell me I deserve it, tell me that I'm worth it
That I got what's mine and I damn well earned it
What you want, what you need, gotta work it
Just give me some permission to give up the addiction
To get a little bit of what I've been giving
Tell me that I earned, tell me I I I
I deserve it
Yeah, yeah
Tell me I deserve it
Tell me that I'm worth it
I got what's mine and I damn well earned it
Give me some permission
To give up the addiction
Mmm well tell me I deserve it
Ooh yeah
Mmm
Tell me I deserve it
Yeah, yeah
Mmm give me some permission
To give up the addiction
And tell me I
Tell me I
I deserve it
