Ledger of Pain

Ledger of Pain You won Signed your name in the dust on my heart Called it love While you traced every old broken part You smiled Like a judge handing down what was due You hurt me Just enough to feel fair to you You balanced the pain Like a ledger in your mind You cashed in my trust On a debt from another time And I reached, I reached Till my fingers slipped the frame You won, you won When you taught me your kind of game I stayed On the line when you drifted away I called Hearing echoes instead of your name I tried To break through that history wall But you Loved the power of watching me fall You balanced the pain Like a ledger in your mind You cashed in my trust On a debt from another time And I reached, I reached Till my fingers slipped the frame You won, you won When you taught me your kind of game Tell me, did it heal what they did to you Using my heart as a stand-in wound Was I just proof you could make it hurt too I kept reaching out You kept pulling right through You balanced the pain Like a ledger in your mind You cashed in my trust On a debt from another time And I reached, I reached Till there’s nothing left to save You won, you won But I’m walking out of your game
