Down to the wire

Skirmish: On the wire (@rinwolf)Liner Notes
Well there's a wire in there. Nice prompt
Lyrics
We were cutting it close We were down to the wire For someone who claims to know You’re a dreadful liar
You said it would all work out It was just a a temporary downturn The best thing to do was not to panic The best thing to do was stay calm
We were cutting it fine We were down to the wire The creditors were at our door You kept saying just a few days more
And then you left early one morning Never to return The debts were piling up And I knew how it felt to get burned

A classic tale with a well-chosen phrase to sum it up and chords to set the mood. Masterful work.
