There was a time
when I'd throw money at my problems
to make them go away.
Now money has left me

my problems are here to stay

You sent signals to attract me
Offering more and more
I fell for all your charms but little did I know that
You would not let me go

My problems are here to stay

The silent love moves me from the other side of the room
It's just a glance, a stolen look
It's a discreet touch that slightly lingers that lets me know

my problems are here to stay

The silent love is there
A moment of deep intimacy in a crowded room
Words are never spoken, but it's always there

my problems are here to stay

I spent all the money that we knew I never had
I cried I felt defeated
You'd have to be stupid to put up with that
Here I am

my problems are here to stay

In envelopes on the carpet
The letters in blood that you write
Telling me it’s all over
And I should pay up or fight
Cause you will not let me go

my problems are here to stay

They won’t go away
