The Cost of Keeping You

V5

You’re still counting every glass we broke, tracing all the words we never spoke. You think I’m the one who didn’t feel the burn, but I’ve been memorizing every lesson I had to learn. You ask if it’s lost, like it’s just a game, but I’ve been the one carryin' the weight of your name. Oh, the wine has turned to vinegar in the sun and we’re just two shadows tryin' to outrun... Everything we’ve done. It’s not lost on me, it’s just the cost of keeping you! The ghost of every "I love you" that didn’t ring true! I paid in gold, I paid in tears, I gave the best of all my years. No, it’s not lost, it’s just the price I had to pay, to watch you walk away! Now you’re standing at the edge of the night, looking for a reason to start another fight. But my pockets are empty, my heart is a stone, I’ve learned how to be lonely while I’m not alone. Oh, the wine has turned to vinegar in the sun, and we’re just two shadows tryin' to outrun... It’s not lost on me, it’s just the cost of keeping you! The ghost of every "I love you" that didn’t ring true! I paid in gold, I paid in tears, I gave the best of all my years. No, it’s not lost, it’s just the price I had to pay, to watch you walk away! Let it go... Let the smoke clear... I’ve paid my debt, I’m leaving it here. It’s not lost on me, it’s just the cost of keeping you! The ghost of every "I love you" that didn’t ring true! No, it’s not lost, it’s just the price I had to pay, to watch you walk away! The cost of keeping you... The cost of keeping you... The cost of keeping you...
