I Kept a Debt (I Never Did)

Lyrics

[Intro / Hook] I kept a debt I kept a debt You walked away I kept the debt [Verse 1] Your name still lives Inside my phone Your side of bed Still feels too cold I changed the sheets I changed the room But every night Still leads to you [Pre-Chorus] You left me one small ache I made it grow [Chorus] I kept a debt I kept a debt Every memory adds interest You’re long gone I’m paying yet For something I could not forget I kept a debt I kept a debt Thought you were the one who owed me Now I know Now I know I’m the one who won’t let go [Post-Chorus] I won’t settle I won’t settle I keep paying for you I won’t settle I won’t settle Though there’s nothing left to lose [Verse 2] Old photographs Old midnight songs I delete them all They still come back A certain street A certain smell Can pull me right Back into hell [Pre-Chorus] You left me one small ache I made it grow [Chorus] I kept a debt I kept a debt Every memory adds interest You’re long gone I’m paying yet For something I could not forget I kept a debt I kept a debt Thought you were the one who owed me Now I know Now I know I’m the one who won’t let go [Bridge] I thought you owed me One last word One last reason One last hurt But you paid nothing You moved on And I kept paying All along [Final Chorus] I kept a debt I kept a debt Every memory adds interest You’re long gone I’m paying yet For something I should have forget I kept a debt I kept a debt Thought you were the one who owed me Now I know Now I know The debt was always owed to me [Outro] You don’t owe me You don’t owe me I kept the debt I kept the debt You let me go I never did.
