The safe is wide open,
the ledgers don't lie You chased down a feeling you just had
to buy Signed off on his name,
tore his business apart Left nothing but ash in the wake of
your heart
(where did you go) And the bank called this morning with nothing
to lend
While the children are asking for their mother again
You traded their smiles for a spark in your veins Left a
father to carry the weight of your chains Through the debt and
the dark and the cold bedroom floor
I am patching the holes that you left at the door
(doing it all) Their schoolbags are packed and I make them their
plates While the collectors keep knocking at the outer gates You sold
off our credit to run from the pain Now I'm standing alone
holding hands in the rain
Two jobs on my shoulders,
no time left to weep I promise them promises I have to
keep (I'll keep them safe)
(I'll keep them warm)
You traded their smiles for a spark in your veins Left a
father to carry the weight of your chains Through the debt and
the dark and the cold bedroom floor I am patching the holes
that you left at the door (doing it all)
Just me and them now...
(we'll make it through)
