Wheewww Walking through the grocery store and I see the prices have gone up again Who knew life was so expensive for you’d have told me that milk would be 6 dollars a gallon I wouldn’t believe it Or that gas would be nearly 3 bucks a gallon Or that food would hit me for at least 150 every month I wouldn’t have believed it I didn’t realize that everything that’s essential to survival costs so much Everything that one needs to go on costs an arm and a leg If you’d have told me that it took ten bucks just to make one, if have sworn you were crazy But that’s the way of life I guess I mean I see now, that’s the way of life Everything you need, whatever you want It’s gonna cost you Even the things that shouldn’t cost you If you’d have told me that I would have to pay for attention, if have never believed it It’s so expensive and not really all that important but it’s necessary if you don’t wanna sink into a pit of depression If you’d told me that affection prices were through the roof I’d probably have stocks and bonds in it right now cuz boy that’s expensive And to whoever said that love don’t cost a thing Hah, you should be shot That’s a lie if I ever heard one Love costs the most. If I’d have known just how expensive love is I’d just as soon have chosen hate Unfortunately I’m not set up like that and even if I was I couldn’t afford hate either It’s costs way too much But love.... it’s crazy how it works It doesn’t just merely cost money It’s costs so much more It costs you a well rested night A joyous occasion It costs you smiles and confidence It costs you.... it costs you I never thought that I would have to pay with my blood, sweat and tears. I thought for sure that it was all just a senseless metaphor that some old man came up with to make you afraid of hard work It’s true though Countless nights I’ve cried myself to sleep Trying to pay for a love that was all my own Let’s not forget the life behind the mask To weak to smile on my own so faking it was my next best choice. Taking mental and emotional abuse because that’s the price you pay for love Sanity.... yes in some cases it costs you sanity But the price never fluctuates A life for love Love for a life
