Broken Even

You know I never been too good at math

I use my fingers to count (She use her fingers to count)

But the result of our equation

Isn't too hard to figure out (It don't take a genius)

I gave you seven good years

To make up for seven bad

I'd say I paid off

Any debt I might've had

A little lost

A little gained

In the end

We've broken even

Every night when I'm on my way home

I wonder what I'm gonna find (when she walks through the door)

You're either burnin' or freezin' me out

You're made of fire and ice

I know I've done wrong

But you matched me with one

So I am absolved, I am free, I am done

Up and down

Back and forth

No more keeping score

We've broken even

See I was waiting

Til' something better came along

To give me a good reason for leaving

I was wasting precious time

And sacrificing happiness

(Yes she was)

But true love doesn't punish

And it does not possess

And leaving you has sure been worth the price

Worth the price of loneliness

Now I was trapped like a prisoner

Who had no lock on her cell

(She had no lock on her cell, YEA)

But now I'm springing the joint and

I'm no longer under your spell

Your wrong plus mine have come out alright

So I have no shame when I lay down at night

You don't owe apologies

You don't owe a thing to me

We've broken even

Up and down

Back and forth

No more keeping score we've

Broken even

A little lost

A little gained

In the end we've

Broken even
