That's What I Get 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
I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

But that's what I get
(That's what I get)

Why does it come as a surprise?
To think that I was so naive
Maybe didn't mean that much
But it meant everything to me

(That's what I get)
