What I Get Songtext
von From Ashes to New

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
That's what I get, that′s what I get
Oh-oh-oh-oh
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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
That′s what I get, that′s what I get
Oh-oh-oh-oh
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 leaving 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
That′s what I get, that's what I get
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That's what I get, that′s what I get
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That′s what I get, that's what I get
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That′s what I get, that's what I get
