Paid In Full

Taken by a solitary moment
I look to see if anyone is near
I breathe and let it defeat me
I just wanted to make things right
Change a view, stop a pain, write a sorrow

I’m a memory, a lost ambition
A hidden motive, a destructive intuition
A rusted swing, a broken violin
Drop a tear, hum a verse
That’s all I ask of remorse

It only swells and dies inside
Dare not grant you trophy with a scar
I just needed something to get me by
Make love, soothe a burn, leave an itch

I’m a memory, a lost ambition
A hidden motive, a destructive intuition
A rusted swing, a broken violin
Drop a tear, hum a verse
That’s all I ask of remorse

That’s all I ask!
That’s all I ask!
That’s all I ask!
That’s all I ask for anymore!
