Pay For It

[Verse]
Empty promises are hard to keep
Hold your breath and turn the other cheek
No remorse for traitors
And tell yourself you only stick around with me
‘cause I can’t be left alone
Like a menace to society
Caught somewhere between desire and fear that
You’ll admit but only quietly
Everyone’s ashamed to know

And maybe you were right about me
I’m convinced it’s true
Even though it isn’t right to still be
Mad at you

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like I can’t get away from it
Both the pleasure and thе pain from it
No doubt
God knows I’m gonna pay for it
Fake my death and change my namе for it
No

[Chorus]
It’s like I can’t get away from it
Both the pleasure and the pain from it
No doubt
God knows I’m gonna pay for it
Fake my death and change my name for it
‘cause they’re out to get me

HAA-AAAH
HAA-AAAH
HAA-AAAH
(mmmmmm)

[Verse]
Kept you waiting on a shooting star
Take a breath, remember where you are
Who does fortune favor?
And even for a dreamer it’s a little far
Thinkin’ you deserve the world
An open wound is like a battle scar
Caught somewhere between regret and pride, well
To tell the difference is a little hard
When there’s no one on your side

And maybe you were right that I’m a
Sad, vindictive prude
Cut me off ‘cause you’re afraid that I’ll get
Back at you

[Pre-Chorus]
I bet it feels good to get away with it
Make ‘em let you have your way with it
No doubt
God knows you had to play with it
And I’m a coward either way
Honey, aren’t we all?

[Chorus]
It’s like I can’t get away from it
Both the pleasure and the pain from it
No doubt
God knows I’m gonna pay for it
Fake my death and change my name for it
‘cause they’re out to get me

[Bridge]
Thrown out of the promised land
Blind faith in the off chance
I’m never gonna run!
I’m never gonna-
I’m never gonna-
Make sense of the way it’s been
Throw myself off the deep end
I’m never gonna run!
‘Cause they’re out to get me
