You Haven't Earned It

 

You Haven't Earned It

 

You crave attention

As if it's due to you

You want permission

To behave as badly as you do

 

You want respect, but

You don't act respectable

You want fame to fill the void

Where you once had a soul

 

But you haven't earned it

You haven't walked long enough in these shoes

You don't deserve it

You haven't nearly paid your dues

 

It's so pathetic

This image you portray

Shatters like crystal

And slowly fades away

 

You want the world's eyes

You need the accolades

You want the money

And all the empty praise

 

But you haven't earned it

You haven't walked long enough in these shoes

You don't deserve it

You haven't nearly paid your dues

 

When it's all over

What will you have left?

You'll still be incomplete

Forgotten and depressed

 

You want acceptance

It's all you wanted all along

You want forgiveness

From those who you have wronged

 

But you haven't earned it

You haven't walked long enough in these shoes

You don't deserve it

You haven't nearly paid your dues
