Well, you can't strike a match and then dance in the fire
And cry every time you get burned
It's like cracking the seal and then blaming the bottle
A sobering lesson to learn

And I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

You can't keep telling lies and changing your story
And expect the whole world to believe
And use the Stars and the Stripes to serve your own glory
Yeah, that flag ain't flying with me

'Cause I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

So, put your cards on the table and start telling some truth
If you're gonna point fingers, well I got two for you

When your watered-down story starts to taste like cheap whiskey
A man can get drunk on your lies
But my hangover's gone and my give-a-fuck's empty
It's gone just like yesterday's wine

'Cause I don't have amnesia and Lord knows I ain't Jesus
'Cause I can't forgive or forget
And sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get

Sometimes when you give what you give
You get what you get
You get what you get
