What I Get
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do I, do I open up my heart
For your teeth to rip apart?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
And why do I always sacrifice control
Going down the same black hole?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
I see behind a thousand lies that you try to hide
I bleed inside, you left your knife, but I'm still alive
I love the way you kill me, I love the way you watch me die
Life or death, a bullet to the chest, I'd do it again
Just when I think I've cut you out
You come with open arms to drag me down
So why do I, do I open up my heart
For your teeth to rip apart?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
And why do I always sacrifice control
Going down the same black hole?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
You lit a fire then left me out in the cold
You saw me dying, didn't offer a hand to hold
You got me higher, but lately I'm feeling low
I look into your eyes, and my heart is turned to stone
'Cause over and over I go under just to discover that
It never mattered where I went because I'm coming back
And in the end, you're the only Xanax I had
'Cause thinking of living is giving me panic attacks
Just when I think I've cut you out
You come with open arms to drag me down
So why do I, do I open up my heart
For your teeth to rip apart?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
And why do I always sacrifice control
Going down the same black hole?
That's just what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
That's what I get, that's what I get
