[Verse 1]
It took me years to find true mind at peace
And now you treat me like they reprove 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 were cold, I would hold, and I'd 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 say 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 crawling slow, finally in a dress that meant money in the bank, well
Drinking hard so you can't feel the warmth of their arms so you drift, 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
