I should be paying my dues I'm far from living like you I try but I'm only human A constant state of improving But I feel the weight lift from my plate I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong All the pain that I bore for so long Justice was holding the cards Mercy seemed so far Then you stepped in between me and my fate Took a pen to the charges I should pay Right on the dotted line You signed your name over mine Mine I owe you all of my soul; now I owe you every moment Whatever I do won’t measure I'm eternally indebted to you But all you want is my broken heart I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong All the pain that I bore for so long Justice was holding the cards Mercy seemed so far Then you stepped in between me and my fate Took a pen to the charges I should pay Right on the dotted line You signed your name over mine Mine, mine, mine I’ve got a list of the things I’ve done wrong All the pain that I bore for so long Justice was holding the cards Mercy seemed so far Then you stepped in between me and my fate Took a pen to the charges I should pay Right on the dotted line You signed your name over mine Mine, mine, mine I owe you all of my soul, now I owe you every moment
