The Thanks I Get

I thought it would be different.

My life is gone because I guess

it's you. {somber acoustic grand

piano chords, quiet ambient cello starts}

This is what I get,

a cold shoulder

And something that you don't regret.

I loved you, I cared

for you,

I stood by you when barely anyone else would.

I thought we would

live

together. {soft trembling vocal delivery,

fragile piano keys} I thought you loved me,

I thought you liked me.

I thought we would

be best friends for life,

But

in the end, this is the thanks I get.

Wow, thank you, the cold shoulder's great.

I'm so

alone, but I bet you wouldn't care.

{heavy orchestrations swell, sweeping cinematic strings,

pounding timpani} About a thing that I said

Because the rumors weren't true,

but I guess to you they were.

I really

cared for you, I stood by your side,

I defended you

when no one would.

I loved you, I cared

for you, and this is the thanks I get.

{music drops to a stark piano note and ticking clock sound} Man,

you really are the worst,

damn, fuck.

This is what I get for loving you and sticking by you.

But in the end,

what does it matter?

My life is done,

my life is over,

all thanks to you.

But in the end,

why do I even try?

{guttural vocal delivery, huge distorted synth bass and slamming electronic beats} Because

now

all I wanna do is live my life!

Why won't I let myself live!

Damn, I thought you cared for me just as much as I

cared for you. Guess in the end it was not true.

I stood by you!

When no one else would.

Goddamn, I stood by you until I couldn't,

why would you let him back?

Why would you do that?

We agreed that he was gone,

But now suddenly just let him return even though what he did.

{screaming orchestral brass, rapid heavy synth bass pulse,

absolute chaos} This is the thanks I get!

For loving you.

I guess that's a fact. I

don't care anymore.

I think I'll just go.

I really thought we would be friends together until the end,

But now it's my end,

and guess what?

No one's here.

I just need to pretend

I'm fine, but I'm not.

So this is the thanks I get.

{soundscapes fade, leaving only a lonely,

soft piano arpeggio and quiet breathing}
