from my iPod’s shuffle today…

just when everything was making sense.
you took away all my self-confidence.
now all that i’ve been hearing must be true.
i guess i’m not the only boy for you.

but that’s what i get
that’s what i get
that’s what i get
that’s what i get

how could you turn us into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you.
i told you i’d never say goodbye.
i’m slipping on the tears you made me cry.

but that’s what i get.
that’s what i get.
that’s what i get.
that’s what i get.
for trusting you.
that’s what i get.

why does it come as a surprise.
to think that i was so naive.
maybe didn’t mean too much.
but it meant everything to me.

but that’s what i get
that’s what i get
that’s what i get
that’s what i get

((I was also going to post the lyrics of Azure Ray’s song Sleep, but I think they only come across properly in the song. You should look it up and hear it for yourself.))

  1. Breeze still carries the sound
    Maybe I’ll disappear
    Tracks will fade in the snow
    You won’t find me here

    Ice is starting to form
    Ending what had begun
    I am locked in my head
    With what I’ve done
    I know you tried to rescue me
    Didn’t let anyone get in
    Left with a trace of all that was
    And all that could have been

    Please
    Take this
    And run far away
    Far away from me
    I am
    Tainted
    The two of us
    We’re never meant to be
    All these
    Pieces
    And promises and left behinds
    If only I could see
    In my
    Nothing
    You meant everything
    Everything to me
    Gone fading everything
    And all that could have been

    Please
    Take this
    And run far away
    Far as you can see
    I am
    Tainted
    And happiness and peace of mind
    Were never meant for me
    All these
    Pieces
    And promises and left behinds
    If only I could see
    In my
    Nothing
    You meant everything
    Everything to me
