[Intro]
It's been a long way home
From the drug fueled mess
The fake friends
That I tried to impress
I'm in a bad, bad mood
Drowning in stress
But I'm paying off the debt of my youth
I spent a long, long time
Tryna figure it out
Is there a meaningful way
To stop the lingering doubt
I met a bad, bad girl
And she put me through hell
I'll be paying off the debt of my youth
Til I'm dead

[Verse]
I was way, way too
Caught up in the chase
Tryna feel something real
But the whole thing was fake
I made bad, bad choices
Took what I could take
Now I'm paying off the debt of my youth

[Bridge]
Lost, I was a memory
Shouting through neurons to live
Cost, a negative balance
Is bouncing the love I could give

[Refrain]
Led a crusade plundering balance
I promised that I would get here
I wasn't safe, forgot who I was
Now I'm honestly getting better

[Bridge]
Lost, I was a memory
Shouting through neurons to live
Cost, a negative balance
Is bouncing the love I could give
