That's What They Get((Song))

She's staring out the window
Watching as he drives out of sight
She can't believe it happened like this
She can't believe it happened tonight

Two years of nothing is just driving off
Leaving her behind and she's lost in the fog
The tears blur her eyes and she feels her heart break
Letting her guard down was just a mistake

{Chorus}
But that's what she gets
For falling too hard
That's what she gets
For falling too far
That's what she gets
Just a break in her heart
That's what she gets
That's what she gets

He sits beside the lake, steadily tossing rocks
He tried to forget her but he's lost in his thoughts
Her brown eyes are haunting him, driving him insane
Every time he gets in the truck, she's calling his name

He sees her in the backseat with a smile on her face
It's useless, her memory he can never erase
He let her go in a matter of minutes
Now life doesn't seem worth living, because she isn't in it

{Chorus}
But that's what he gets
For letting her go
That's what he gets
For not letting her know
That's what he gets
Just a break in his heart
That's what he gets
That's what he gets

She's staring out the window
He's sitting by the lake
Lost in the memories
Lost in that mistake

He drove away and she's long departed
This is just another song for the lonely and broken hearted

{Chorus}
But that's what they get
For taking love for granted
But that's what they get
Now they're leaving empty handed
That's what they get
A love long gone
That's what they get
That's what they get

    Wow, before I read it I was sort of like: Oh...another love song. And then I read it and was like: WOW!
    It was actually really good! I really enjoyed it, and even though I don't actually like country music, I could see myself listening to this. It flowed really well too, and the rhyming you had in it sounded so easy and really made the song.
    5/5

    This was amazing! i love how you wrote it from both angles. It really paints a picture in your mind. The chorus is perfect because it doesn't overwhelm you with words. I like that. Its like you let the rest of the song do the talking and the chorus just reiterates the main thought. Nicely done! I could so see this as a slow country song! :)
