Elvis Costello - Pay It Back

…One of these days I’m gonna pay it back, pay it back,
one of these days.

And then they told me I could be somebody
if I didn’t let too much get in my way.
And I tried so hard just to be myself,
but I keep on fading away.
Until the lights went out, I didn’t know what to do.
If I could fool myself, then maybe I’d fool you too.

One of these days I’m gonna pay it back, pay it back,
one of these days.

I wouldn’t say that I was raised on romance.
Let’s not get stuck in the past.
I love you more than everything in the world.
I don’t expect that will last.
They told me everything was guaranteed.
Somebody somewhere must’ve lied to me.

One of these days I’m gonna pay it back…
