The Lathums - Undeserving

Running from my mind keeps me from my bed at night
Sirens from my window down the road to number 9
It's frightening what the mind can start to think at half past 9
Like what's this funny feeling in this little soul of mine?

So I put my faith in patience and pursued a worthy cause
The innocence was blinding, but it put us on this course
And how are we deserving? And who the hell am I?
The way my life has changed, it used to pass me by

Wait for me
Baby, I'm yours
Wait and see what could have been ours
Words they fail me, but no more

Nothing feels the same and everything has changed
Life is very different now, don't know if I'm the same
But I think I've found my purpose and I've found my lock and key
I've found a sacred place now just for you and me

And why now does it feel so strange that I should feel content?
Is this my burden? Is this what she meant?
The feeling of acceptance overwhelming, say the least
The feeling that I get at how you look at me

And I did this for my family, but I've gained so much more
The happiness you've given me must be the feeling in my soul

Wait for me
Baby, I'm yours
Wait and see what could have been ours
Words they fail me, I've had enough

Now I don't feel peculiar in the only sense I know
Whatever is inside me, I need to let it go
And I'll not make excuses and I won't tell no lies
Stay true to myself, look me in the eyes

The ones that say they love you and the ones that say you're good
The ones that say I'm bad, they all misunderstood
Why is all this happening to a little soul like mine?
It doesn't seem fair and it doesn't sit right

And I once was a stranger, a pauper, nothing more
Before you all found me, I was a broken soul
And if it should all come crumbling down
I can safely say you've made me happy now

The people that I've met and the ones I loved before
The ones along the way, oh so many more
I can safely say now that I have no regrets
I'm happy with myself and all the friends that I have met
All the places that we're going, all the things that we will do
I'm just so damn happy that I'm doing them with you

I used to be so angry, confused and afraid
I'd take it out on loved ones or anyone it takes
Now it don't seem scary, I don't feel so insecure
I'm waking up in silence, my demons at the door

Wait for me
Baby, I'm yours
Wait and see what would have been ours
Words they fail me, I'm hanging on

La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

Running from my mind keeps me from my bed at night
The sirens from my window down the road to number 9
It's frightening what the mind can start to think at half past 9
Like what's this funny feeling in this little soul of mine?
