The safe is wide open,
the ledgers don't lie She chased down a feeling she just had
to buy Signed off on his name,
tore our family apart Left nothing but ash in the wake of
her heart (where did she go) And the bank called this morning
with nothing to lend
While the children are asking for their mother again
She traded our smiles for a spark in her veins
Left us to carry the weight of her chains Through the debt
and the dark and the cold bedroom floor I'm patching the holes
that she left at the door (holding on)
Our schoolbags are packed and I make them their plates While the
collectors keep knocking at the outer gates She 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)
She traded our smiles for a spark in her veins
Left us to carry the weight of her chains Through the debt
and the dark and the cold bedroom floor I'm patching the holes
that she left at the door
(holding on)
Just me and them now...
(we'll make it through)
