I'm fed up with your ten cent love. I'm not fed up with trying. Don't want more promises to lift me up. I won't leave without rising. when all you do is drag me down, But I will hold you safe. the earth has swallowed me whole and, My arms were all your space. you can't save me now, Now I refuse to face it. I'm fed up with your ten cent love, Then it's overdue I change it. Empty dinner tables, refill my cup, I'll pour you shared-sip tea, I can't wait at this bar alone another hour, Then leave, and wait with me. I can't watch my heart crumble anymore, I hold it safe and patch it, So pack up your bags and go with the wind, I won't, but I will catch it. to where ever wind should take you, I think it's blowing north. Don't make it bleed more than it has to, My blood will run it's course. Because I'm dying anyway, and my soul is at the bottom, **I won't let you fade away, and my hands will break the coffin** of a jar of pennies I'll use till sunset to get me by **You can tell that we're not done yet, By the blood red tears I cry.** Don't make me beg, don't throw another dime in my direction, don't try to buy something that you cannot afford **I would never let our house of time, Or familiy collapse. The final word.**

Eleventh Hour
I'm fed up with your ten cent love. I'm not fed up with trying. Don't want more promises to lift me up. I won't leave without rising. when all you do is drag me down, But I will hold you safe. the earth has swallowed me whole and, My arms were all your space. you can't save me now, Now I refuse to face it. I'm fed up with your ten cent love, Then it's overdue I change it. Empty dinner tables, refill my cup, I'll pour you shared-sip tea, I can't wait at this bar alone another hour, Then leave, and wait with me. I can't watch my heart crumble anymore, I hold it safe and patch it, So pack up your bags and go with the wind, I won't, but I will catch it. to where ever wind should take you, I think it's blowing north. Don't make it bleed more than it has to, My blood will run it's course. Because I'm dying anyway, and my soul is at the bottom, **I won't let you fade away, and my hands will break the coffin** of a jar of pennies I'll use till sunset to get me by **You can tell that we're not done yet, By the blood red tears I cry.** Don't make me beg, don't throw another dime in my direction, don't try to buy something that you cannot afford **I would never let our house of time, Or familiy collapse. The final word.**
