[Verse 1] It took me years to find True mind at peace And now you treat me like They repprove 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 [Chorus] Pay my debts away, pay my debts Pay my debts away Pay my debts away, pay my debts Pay my debts away [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Pay my debts away, pay my debts Pay my debts away Pay my debts away, pay my debts Pay my debts away [Verse 3] 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, there child." [Chorus] 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
