That's What I Get

There's a new low you're bringing home
tonight there's something crawling inside of me
ya i can feel it..i can feel it... eating me

And there's a little less of me every minute
it consumes me... savoring me..
with every little bite
ya that's what i get
for jumping in and going for it

All the time i spent in this hoping for the best
didn't know our pairing would be the final test
holding on for one more day wondering what to do
blinded by beauty while acting like a fool

And what kind of a constant
does a heartbreak want to brew
when one loves unconditionally
while the other one is untrue

And how deep do they have to drive it
when they've stuck their knife thru and thru
why do they have to flaunt it
like they always do
shoving it all up in our face
like they had something all along to prove

So there's a little less of me every minute
consuming me... savoring me..
with every little bite
ya that's what i get
for jumping in and going for it

I'm drowning in a pool of my own sweat
waiting for the time that's already been set
the clock on the wall is laughing all the time
knowing i can't stay awake that long
knowing that you're never coming home

I wanted to tell you off
i wanted to give it one last shot
i wanted to bring it to and end
i wanted for us to begin again
i wanted something more than this

But all you wanted was to show your tits
not to me... but rather some other man
and i was the fool..i was the fool
ya i was the fool
for putting all my trust and love in you

So there's a little less of me every minute
that goes by
consuming me... savoring me..
with every little bite
ya that's what i get
that what i get
for jumping in and going for it
