You Get What You Get

Our life was never meant to be All that it turned out to be for me Was a memory blacked out and buried And I, I used to know you all too well I saw this going straight to hell With it, afraid to walk away Or say the things I meant It wouldn’t stop these feelings But you should know how the story goes It’s a love so hot but then it turns so cold In time I, I won’t get by Help me, save me, stay with me a little while [Chorus] I want to say what my heart can’t say to you It’s not enough for a love I never knew When all that’s left is nothing You get what you get when you give and you gave it all Was it you? I found you in the corner of the blackest night I felt your arms around me as you held me tight If this could be our ending, then I’d make things right I swear I’d never leave your side If you gave up everything and you moved here with me I swear I’d do it right, I’d be your everything I’ll beg you please, a fuse to light the sign I’ll make you mine and we can just run free And what a “perfect life” you’d share with me I want to say what my heart can’t say to you It’s not enough for a love I never knew You had the world around me But we failed to keep this breathing [Chorus] It hurts the most when you, you feel that close But you, you can’t believe this could be our last goodbye And when the shots hit you, you’re falling back to the memories That you see have left you blind Someway, somehow, someday I’ll be just fine [Chorus]
