Wanting You or Deserving You

I was thinking in the silence of the night
Between everything I feel and what I can offer
Because desiring someone is so easy sometimes
It's difficult to have the courage to make it happen
There's love that's born only from desire
There's love that learns responsibility
And in the mirror I asked myself without hiding
What's the difference between wanting you and deserving you?

Wanting you is imagining your embrace
Dreaming of you in any direction
But deserving you, perhaps that's rarer
It's taking care of your world with my heart

What's the difference between wanting you and deserving you?
Wanting you is saying: Stay
Deserving you is making you stay
Wanting you is feeling longing
Deserving you is never letting truth be lacking
Because love isn't just wanting someone for yourself
But the reason for you to stay here
(Oh, for you to stay here)

I don't want pretty promises in the wind
Nor words that time will undo
If I'm going to enter your life
Let it be to add to it and not to lose you
Because wanting can be an impulse
But deserving requires surrender
It's proving in the small details
That the feeling cannot be denied

Wanting you is imagining your embrace
Dreaming of you in any direction
But deserving you, perhaps that's rarer
It's taking care of your world with my heart

What's the difference between wanting you and deserving you?
Wanting you is saying: Stay
Deserving you is making you stay
Wanting you is feeling longing
Deserving you is never letting truth be lacking
Because love isn't just wanting someone for yourself
But the reason for you to stay here
(Oh, for you to stay here)

Oh
Wanting you is where it began
Deserving you is where love stayed
And if one day I can convince you
Let it be in the way I chose to deserve you
Oh
Wanting you is where it began
Deserving you is where love stayed
And if one day I can convince you
Let it be in the way I chose to deserve you

What's the difference between wanting you and deserving you?
Wanting you is saying: Stay
Deserving you is making you stay
Wanting you is feeling longing
Deserving you is never letting truth be lacking
Because love isn't just wanting someone for yourself
But the reason for you to stay here
(Oh, for you to stay here)
