That’s What I Get

You rise and shine your dark cloud in the sun,
Go put your two-faced makeup on
and hide the cracks that lie beneath.
My head rings with alarm bells going off,
But nothing's gonna’ wake me up
Stuck in the black hole of my dreams.

First you caught my eye, then you robbed me blind
That's what I get for falling in love with someone like you.
Left the perfect scar when you stole my heart
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.

I'm trapped inside a rabbit cage of flames,
A cat and mouse behavior maze.
Half crazed with nowhere left to run.
You're beautiful like vibrant phoenix fire,
A train wreck driven by desire, the trigger finger on the gun.

And I've hitched my ride where the bullets fly
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.
Let you clip my wings, now this bird won’t sing
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.

Catch an exit sign, to the far and wide
Stick a fork in the dead-end road.
It’s a sad goodbye, in the Zen disguise of a positive path toward growth.
You're a waste of time like a bad punchline
Gotta’ laugh 'cause that ain’t no joke.
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.

I could be at peace with what’s left of me
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.
But we'll crash and burn and I still won’t learn
That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.

I’m a rainy day going down the drain with a hurricane in my mind.
If you ask I'll say, everything’s ok but I'm honestly not alright.
You're a sweet mistake, and a gorgeous way of ruining my whole life.
But still I give what’s never enough for someone like…
Take the baggage that comes with someone like…
Get lost falling in love with someone like you.

That’s what I get for falling in love with someone like you.
