the one to pay

i'm so ashamed to tell you
who i was with last night
but i think i might be in trouble
and i don't know what to do
he wasn't really evil
there wasn't much of a fight
i just can't believe that he wouldn't leave
when i asked him to

somehow, someone got carried away...
and i am the one who has to pay

the next time that i saw him
i stood frozen in my tracks
there's nothing to be scared of
but i can't stop looking back
everyone tries to help me--
they can't take this pain away
as my voice is growing stronger,
i feel weaker by the day

somehow, someone got carried away...
now i am the one who has to pay

if you think that i won't talk,
i hope you're wrong
i could never keep a secret for very long
if you think that i'm afraid of you
you'd better pray
that i won't find the words to say
that i am the one who's going to pay
