Paying off the Interest With My Tears
Heartbreak's Currency: Settling Love's Debt with Tears
Lyrics
You said that you'd be mine and we signed that dotted line
You promised commitment, and we formally agreed to it.
I thought that we'd be happy, you and me
I anticipated a happy relationship between us.
If I had only known your love was just a loan
I didn't realize your love was temporary, like a loan.
For now you're asking me to set you free
Now you're asking for freedom from the commitment.
I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count
I never expected your kisses to have a cost, like a charge.
That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount
I have to endure heartaches as the payment for the love I received.
I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years
I'm returning the love you gave over the years.
But I'm paying off the interest with my tears
However, I'm experiencing emotional pain as the interest on that love.
It's the expiration date, you say there's no rebate
You declare the end of our relationship, offering no compensation.
And I guess you'll say my heart is overdrawn
You suggest that my heart is emotionally drained.
Another love you chose so my account is closed
You've chosen another love, closing the emotional account between us.
And now, I'll have an empty heart at home
Now, I'm left with an empty heart.
My credit's discontinued, you say there's someone new
You terminate our emotional connection, claiming someone else will take over.
To take over all the payments on a heart that's over you
Someone new will handle the emotional burden I carried for you.
I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years
I'm returning the love you provided throughout the years.
But I'm paying off the interest with my tears
Yet, I'm still paying a price in tears as emotional interest.
I didn't understand your easy payment planned
I didn't grasp the temporary nature of our relationship.
That I would only have you for a while
Your commitment was only for a short period.
The love contract you wrote was a just short term note
The love contract you wrote was a brief commitment.
You placed my name on your inactive wile
You put my name on your inactive list, ending our connection.
I never thought your kisses were like a charge you count
I never expected your kisses to have a cost, like a charge.
That I'd have to pay in heartaches for taking my amount
I have to endure heartaches as the payment for the love I received.
I'll give you back your love that I've had all these years
I'm returning the love you gave over the years.
But I'm paying off the interest with my tears
However, I'm experiencing emotional pain as the interest on that love.
