Pay Me or Walk Away

Pay Me or Walk Away

(Verse 1)
It’s the same old song, they come knocking at my door
Like I’m some kind of bank, asking for more
They want a favor, they want a loan
But when the tables turn, they’re gone, on their own

I gave you a chance, I gave you my trust
But you’re taking too much, now I’m left in the dust
Every time I turn around, they want something new
But where were you when I needed you?

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s like I’m made of gold, but I’m running out
You’ll take everything, then turn and walk out
If you want something from me, you better play fair
Cause I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the despair

(Chorus)
Pay me or walk away, I’m not here to play
You’ve had your chance, now it’s time to pay
I’m tired of the games, I’m tired of the talk
If you need something, you better stop and walk
Pay me or walk away, that’s how it’s gonna be
I’m not your ATM, not your charity
If you don’t have it, then you’ve gotta go
I’m not your fool, and I’m letting you know

(Verse 2)
They call me when they’re broke, call me when they’re down
But when I need help, they’re nowhere to be found
They say “I’ll pay you back,” but the check never clears
Now I’m stuck with the burden of all these fears

You want a piece of me, you want a piece of the pie
But you never think about the price I’ve had to buy
The trust that’s gone, the friendship that’s dead
And I’m sitting here waiting, just to be misled

(Bridge)
I’ve been too kind, I’ve been too slow
But now I’m drawing lines, and you’ll never know
What it’s like to be the one who gives and gives
While you take, take, take, and never live
So if you want my help, you better pay the price
Cause I’m not your friend, I’m not your vice

(Outro)
Pay me or walk away, there’s nothing more to say
I’m done with the games, I’m taking back my day
If you can’t pay the price, you won’t stay
Pay me or walk away.
