Pay My Debts Songtext
von Sharon Van Etten

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, well

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
