Paper planes, paper cuts, all that's in between

The work is hard, never ends, returns are lean

You give, they take, baby, baby, all I've ever seen

You don't believe in breaking even, never was the dream

Tough luck she came, took your edge after a knock or two

You took a swing down in the ring, got your knuckles bruised

A sacrifice, that does nothing but eat away at you

On your last leg, you'll wanna beg, but you'll have to choose

Settle for less, settle for worse

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

Settle for less, settle for worse

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

Held out for long, held up like a detainee

You stand accused of expectations, how do you plead?

Desire will break you down, to dirt and debris

I wanna wake up 'fore I make up who I used to be

Settle for less, settle for worse

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

Settle for less, settle for worse

You gonna get out, out what you deserve

What you deserve

You gonna get out, baby

You gonna get what you deserve, baby

Settle for less, settle for worse

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

Settle for less, settle for worse

You're gonna get out, out what you deserve

What you deserve

You gonna get out what you deserve

What you deserve

Not gonna settle for less
