Lyrics
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

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
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

that's what i get

why does it come as a surprise?
to think that i was so naïve
maybe didn't mean so much
but it meant everything to me
