What I Get

 

 

 

 

What I Get

 

Come to me when light has settled in your dust


Come stay around when you don’t hurt me anymore


I will not love you now, but then again might just


When all this pain of mine don’t hurt as much as yours

 


I will pretend that love’s a feeling I forget


You might act like it’s a memory to erase


In the end I will forget we ever met


Then you’ll remind me how you left in many ways


 

You were pleasing him for pleasure and teasing me for fun


Can’t you please me with the gesture of telling me


How many more mistakes I have to make before it’s wrong

 


Chorus


I can find my way around


But I can’t find no reason why you let me down


I was lost when we first met


I don’t know if I wanted to be found


If this is how it gets

 


Stay away until you’re bent back into shape


Why don’t you try to let some bastard grind you down


You may not love me ‘til it’s getting very late


Around the time you’ll see me moving out of town
