all I deserve

for my new year's resolution
I'm gonna try something new
I'm gonna start drinking until I can hardly see then I'm coming home to you

if I pass out on your stairs
if I shatter your last nerve
will you give me a second chance
or will I get all I deserve

will I get all I deserve
when I finally let you down
when your faith in me is broken
and the devils gather round
when the questions you are asking
start sounding more and more absurd
when I finally let you down
will I get all I deserve

you have got the angel's wings
sometimes that’s all I can see
and the things that keep me walking the line they become my enemy
