The Thanks I Get

(album: Pieces - 2010)

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?
