  • It took me years to find
    True mind at peace
    And now you treat me like
    They approve me
    You're my poem, yes you know
    Yet you stole my way
    Just to know this, you told me
    You were late
    When you would call, I would hold
    And I still remain
    Then you led me to believe that's what you wanted

    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away
    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away

    True love, but I'd see you
    Treat me more like you
    And I'd try to heal it
    But I feel so thrown back
    Take my hand, in the cold
    In the snow, but you do not break
    But they told you, convinced you
    Think I'd play
    But I know myself better than you do

    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away
    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away

    May, May calling slow
    Finally in a dress that meant money in the bank
    Drinking hard so you can't feel the warmth of the arms
    So you dreamt, fade away
    Take my hand, I paid my fine
    In the park, in the dark, when you said my name
    On the bench, when I felt that you smiled
    And you said there, that child

    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away
    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away
    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away
    Pay my debts away, pay my debts
    Pay my debts away Writer/s: SHARON VAN ETTEN
