Keep the Change Lyrics

Bust open the window, rip down the blinds
I'm sick of hiding from the sweet sunshine
Cause it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere

I've been locked up in this house for way too long, yeah
I'm sitting around singing sad, sad songs
And it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere

Chorus:
It's been a long time coming
I'm jumping off this reckless pity train
I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change

I know how to nurse a bad heartache and
I can make it worse when I want to feel the pain
But it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere

I know how to cry a river, I know how to drown
Put that anchor 'round my ankles and let it take me down
But it ain't, ain't getting me nowhere

Repeat Chorus

Keep the change, keep the change
Keep the change, keep the change
Repeat Chorus

I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
