[Verse 1]
One part anger
Two parts heartbreak
Three parts relief
I'm escaping this reality we made
Four parts fear
I've made a terrible mistake but
Only a fool would stay
[Chorus]
Got what I paid for
I was chasing the muse
You're gonna get what you paid for
It's time you walked away from me
It's time to choose
How to be
And what to do
How are you gonna be?
What are you gonna do?
I hope you figure it out
[Post-Chorus]
So put the record
Put the record on its needle
Go on and turn the TV down
And try to listen
I will listen if I'm able
What was that song about
[Verse 2]
'Cause how much longer were we carrying on
How many more times would we carry you home
The bar was closing down
You were stumbling out
Sleepwalking drunk
And I only mirrored the pain
[Chorus]
Got what I paid for
I was chasing the muse
You're gonna get what you paid for
It's time you walked away from me
It's time to choose
How to be
And what to do
How are you gonna be?
What are you gonna do?
I hope you figure it out
[Post-Chorus]
So put the record
Put the record on its needle
Go on and turn the TV down
And try to listen
I will listen if I'm able
What was that song about
[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Got what I paid for
I was chasing the muse
You're gonna get what you paid for
It's time you walked away from me
It's time to choose
How to be
And what to do
How are you gonna be?
What are you gonna do?
I hope you figure it out
[Outro]
I hope you figure it out
'Cause how much longer were we carrying on?
I hope you'll figure it out
How many more times would we carry you home?
You're gonna figure it out
How much longer were we carrying on?
You're gonna figure it out
How many more times, let love carry you home?
