the thanks i get

if the lies don't touch you

the truth will

if i can't love you

then who will?

when your friends are jumping ship

when your crown begins to slip

and loyalty's not a virtue

who are you gonna turn to?

when you've seemed to have lost your grip

and the road begins to rip

i held your hand

is this the thanks i get?

i took you in

is this the thanks i get?

half a chance

the thanks i get

a twist of plans

is this the thanks i get?

if the lies don't touch you

the truth will

if i can't love you

then who will?

when you're coming off your chip

when your ego takes a dip

i held your hand

is this the thanks i get?

i took you in

is this the thanks i get?

half a chance

the thanks i get

a twist of plans

is this the thanks i get?

the days hurt

the night lurk

the light burns

my eyes hurt

the dark eyes

my heart cries

it all hurts

i loved you

i loved you

i begged you

i hate you

i hate you

i miss you

i miss you

the thanks i get

is this the thanks i get?
