To Deserve You
déjà vu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't want you to see me like this
The light of the dawn can be cruel
How I want
How I want to deserve you
And if I could be granted a wish
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel
How I want to deserve you
** I see so many golden women
When they walk their feet don't touch the ground
How I want
How I want to deserve you

But me I'm always out of rhythm
My needs too demanding, too proud
How I want
How I want to deserve you

* Repeat

(I would die for you)

Could you ever love me that much
How I want
How I want to deserve you
Yes you tell me this
And I want to believe that it's true
Oh how I want to deserve you

*** I didn't want you to see me like this
I'm weak and I fight like a fool
How I want
How I want to deserve you

And if I could be granted a wish
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel
How I want to deserve you ***

** Repeat

If I could be your angel
I'd trade in my arms for some wings
To keep you close to me
And if I could trade my voice
For the silence I know that you need
Ah, how I want
How I want to deserve you

(I would die for you)
How I want to deserve you

***~*** Repeat





Oh no, no, no, no...

Line by Line Meaning

I didn't want you to see me like this
I didn't want you to witness my vulnerability.


The light of the dawn can be cruel
There are times when even light can be hurtful.


How I want
I really desire and long for:


How I want to deserve you
I want to earn the privilege of being with you.


And if I could be granted a wish
If I were granted a wish


I'd shine in your eye like a jewel
I'd strive to be immensely valuable to you.


I see so many golden women
I come across many confident and amazing women.


When they walk their feet don't touch the ground
Their radiance makes them seem invincible.


But me I'm always out of rhythm
I feel like I don't quite fit in or belong.


My needs too demanding, too proud
My self-respect and wants make it hard for me to compromise or settle.


Could you ever love me that much
Do you have the capacity to love me with the intensity I need?


Yes you tell me this
You say this to me


And I want to believe that it's true
I hope to have faith in your words.


I'm weak and I fight like a fool
I'm flawed, and I sometimes cause my own setbacks.


If I could be your angel
If I could be your protector or guide


I'd trade in my arms for some wings
I'd give up the comfort or closeness of an embrace for the freedom of flight.


To keep you close to me
In order to stay near you and maintain our bond.


And if I could trade my voice
If I could sacrifice my ability to speak.


For the silence I know that you need
To give you the peace and quiet you require.

No queria que me vieras asi
La luz del alba puede ser cruel.
Como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
Y si pudiera concederme un deseo.
Brillaría en tus ojos como una joya
Como quiero merecerte
Veo tantas mujeres de oro
Cuando caminan sus pies no tocan el suelo.
Como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
Pero yo siempre estoy fuera de ritmo.
Mis necesidades demasiado exigentes, demasiado orgullosas.
Como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
¿Podrías alguna vez amarme tanto?
Como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
Si me dices esto
Y quiero creer que es verdad.
Oh como quiero merecerte
No quería que me vieras así.
Soy débil y lucho como un tonto.
Como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
Y si pudiera concederme un deseo.
Brillaría en tus ojos como una joya
Como quiero merecerte
Si yo pudiera ser tu angel
Cambiaría mis brazos por unas alas.
Para mantenerte cerca de mi
Y si pudiera intercambiar mi voz.
Por el silencio sé que necesitas.
Ah, como quiero
Como quiero merecerte
Como quiero merecerte
