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
