Forgot To Pay V2

[Verse 1] I grabbed a soda Then I lost my mind Walked out the door With the change behind I didn't mean it Not even a bit I froze in the aisle Then they called it theft My backpack's got sketches My notebook's clean A's on the page Robotics team I build little frames For my stop-motion scenes And late on Halo I’m chasing dreams [Pre-Chorus] I said, "I can pay" They said, "Too late" Hands on my shoulders But I still can't shake I tried to explain I was right there Still they kept looking Like I wasn't there [Chorus] I meant to pay I meant to pay I went to the store Then my brain went away I meant to pay I meant to pay I did not steal But nobody heard me say [Verse 2] Teacher says I’m focused I never skip class I fix broken wheels And I learn fast Solder on my fingers Glue on my desk Tiny little worlds I make them from the rest I know how to wait I know how to stay But one bad minute Turned my face gray No cash in the bag No joke in my tone I wanted one trip Then go back home [Pre-Chorus] I said, "Check the tape" I said, "Check the shelf" I keep my receipts I keep to myself They only saw panic They only saw doubt And that one small moment They won’t let out [Chorus] I meant to pay I meant to pay I went to the store Then my brain went away I meant to pay I meant to pay I did not steal But nobody heard me say [Bridge] Look in my binder Look in my hands I build with patience I follow plans One mistake And they drew that line But I’m still me And I’ll be fine [Chorus] I meant to pay I meant to pay I went to the store Then my brain went away I meant to pay I meant to pay I did not steal No, I did not steal
