Respect Lyrics by Devour the Day

Time & Pressure

2014

[Verse 1]
Where do I even begin
How could you do this again
You think that we would stay friends
You think you're innocent
This wasn't part of the plan
You turned your back and you ran
But what I don't understand
Is how you live with it

[Chorus]
Respect, you don't deserve it
You won't get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you're not worth it
I'll never be, I'll never be like you
Be like you

[Verse 2]
You're like a blood-sucking leech
A parasitic disease
You only take what you need
And than you're done with it
Face it, you wasted the work that we did
You took the easy way out

[Chorus]
Respect, you don't deserve it
You won't get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you're not worth it
I'll never be, I'll never be like you

[Bridge]
Never
Never
Never
I always knew you were a coward
I knew you were a fake, a fraud
I knew you'd run like a bitch

[Chorus]
Respect, you don't deserve it
You won't get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you're not worth it
I'll never be, I'll never be like you

[Breakdown]
Respect
Be like you
Be like you
Respect
Respect
