Keep the Change lyrics

Covered in dust, outside your cage.

The people you trust lock you away.

The blood in the dust, spell out your name.

You know that it is your price to pay.

This is your chance to break these chains.

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast.

How could we both believe

that this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on,

you can have the past.

I'll keep the change.

One-way ride out of this grave

into the sunlight that melts us away.

The shadows at night kept you awake

haunted by love and our mistakes.

There is still time to catch that change.

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast.

How could we both believe

that this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on,

you can have the past.

I'll keep the change.

Follow the pieces of my heart

back to the place where you are

to remind myself of how far I've come.

And I emptied all these tears that I saved up in a jar

until these memories got dried up by the sun.

There was still time to catch that change.

So, where did it all go wrong?

Everything happened so fast.

How could we both believe

that this could ever last?

And if you're not moving on,

you can have the past.

I'll keep the change.

You can have the past,

I'll keep the change.

You can have the past,

I'll keep the change.
