It's basically the same for the rest of the song
here are the rest of the lyrics:
 
so you've got yourself in a hole
 
and you cant get out
 
i wont be there
 
i cant be around
 
to hold you down
 
and let you know
 
that the places we cant go
 
i wont let you fall, i wont hold you back
 
cause i'm falling away
 
i'm paying the maximum i'm willing to pay
 
i'm willing to pay the price that you pay
 
and the reason i cant stay
 
is cause you live so far away
 
oh mary get out
 
cause your freezing
 
and in the end
 
brother get in
 
brother get in
 
brother get in
 
brother get in
