What You Get

Holding on, these dreams won't last
 Like a right of passage in to my past
 I've done some things I'm gonna regret
 But you better believe, what you see is what you get
 The past is a shadow that follows us all
 It opens its mouth and swallows us whole
 I live my life for better days
 Cut free from the shackles of yesterday
 You want the best of me, but can't take the rest of me
 Well my mama packaged me whole
 If you can't take, one little mistake
 Well I think I'd rather be alone
 From the first time we met, what you see is what you get
 I made no promise that I couldn't keep
 I bared my soul and made my heart bleed
 You ask for sorrow but keep twisting that knife
 I'll find my healer in a different life
 You want the best of me, but can't take the rest of me
 Well my mama packaged me whole
 If you can't take, one little mistake
 Well I think I'd rather be alone
 From the first time we met, what you see is what you get
 I'm still standing tall, above the cries and the shame
 It means nothing at all, to be the loser in this one horse race
 You want the best of me, but can't take the rest of me
 Well my mama packaged me whole
 If you can't take, one little mistake
 Well I think I'd rather be alone
 From the first time we met, what you see is what you get
