What You Deserve
Ill Nino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop
You relate

It's too bad that you have made mistakes
Too bad that I cannot relate
When all else fails
When all else fades
I kept my way through bitter days
Through bitter days

What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far

What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you something to talk about
What you don't know

It's too late that now
I've changed my mind
Too late somehow
To recognize

When all else fails
When all I fight
I hold my words
Perdido en time
Just lost in time

What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far

What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you
Something to talk about

So you lost yourself
Turned to someone else
And you can't give up your will to want to know
Then you find yourself
And you're someone else
In the end you only get what you deserve
What you deserve

What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far

What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you something to talk about
What you don't know (don't know)




What you don't know (don't know)
What you don't know (don't know)
