Price I Paid

[Verse 1] I missed it once Then ten more times I bit my tongue And bled through the climb I broke my plans On the same old floor Still I got up And asked for more [Pre-Chorus] Every scar said stay Every door said no But I kept my hands On the wheel, on the goal [Chorus] I paid the price I paid the price A million falls For one true light I paid the price I paid the price All those times I broke Made this feel right [Verse 2] I wore out hope On the edge of doubt Learnt how to lose Then laughed it out Each dead-end road Had a lesson tucked in Each empty try Was where I began [Pre-Chorus] Every scar said stay Every door said no But I kept my hands On the wheel, on the goal [Chorus] I paid the price I paid the price A million falls For one true light I paid the price I paid the price All those times I broke Made this feel right [Bridge] So let it hurt Let it take its toll I had to shatter To make room for gold One last wound Turned into a sign What I almost lost Was the dream that’s mine [Final Chorus] I paid the price I paid the price A million falls For one true light I paid the price I paid the price All those times I broke Made this feel right I paid the price I paid the price I lost a world To win my life
