The Price We Pay

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Same old story with a new beginning,
now we can start our lives with a new meaning.
Back then I thought I knew we were the answer
But now I don’t even know the question
I remember wrestling the odds, wondering what went wrong
Now I know that’s just life and this is the way it rolls
Bridge:
So I opened up my eyes
and I Dreamed but didn’t guess
and this big surprise came after Yes.
Chorus:
you can never change what they feel
Better let them do just what they will
Faces fade, and memories stay
All the laughs there's nothing else to say.
But baby it's the price we pay
Love letters in the sand, walking hand to hand
I won’t fall for it anymore.
You calling me the sweetest thing, saying that you believed in me
I am not coming back for more.
Now tell me what the future holds
For me and my desperate search for hope
So tell me what I have to do to keep this dream alive
Maybe run and leave this heart behind.
Bridge:
So I opened up my eyes
and I Dreamed but didn’t guess
and this big surprise came after Yes.
Chorus:
You can never change what they feel
Better let them do just what they will
Faces fade, and memories stay
All the laughs there's nothing else to say.
But baby it's the price we pay
I’ve learned from experience that the higher we climb, the faster we fall
But I don’t care; I’m taking my chances as I go
So now I want to write my life in the sky
And make it seem that all of it was worthwhile.
