You said to me you’d change
You said it’d be arranged
You’ve gone and thrown away
All that I thought you’d gained
Is this what I get for staying
A slow kind of a slaying
Is this what I get for playing
It straight
Some fate
Oh I wanted to let go and drown
I saw hope abound-
Never have been so let down
I gave you faith throughout
And now all I do is doubt
It’s all been disavowed
I don’t believe you now
Is this what I get for caring
An ending that’s so wearing
Is this what I get for swearing
You’d change
No way
I thought maybe I could prevail
Why did I try–
Why did I fail
I been let down on a different scale
Went down this trail
To no avail
Is this what I get for trying
You standing there lying
Is this what I get for buying
Those words
I heard
