That's what I Get

Right when i thought it was time to start (that's what I get)
Everything started falling apart (how could i forget?)
Broken heart
Finding out I was never a part...

As soon as I think I've found (that's what I get for thinking)
What I think is stable ground (how could i keep forgetting?)
I start to hear a familiar sound
My world falling apart all around

I dont mean to sound like a broken record
This loss I can no longer afford
I feel like I'm repelling without a cord
Going into war without a gun or sword

I guess i should take the hint finally
Nobody can ever really help me
I'm too broken, but I finally see
It's not the world, it's me

So from what I know 
The defective has to go
Dont make it slow
Time to end this $#!@ show

I dont know how to begin 
My life is in a tailspin 
Not the driver, I'm in the passenger seat 
Time to accept defeat.
