Cost of Love

You can take a high grade, over again
The feeling stays the same
'Til it ends, it's a hope for cause and effect
When the pain is still there
I haven't lost anything yet
I still have all my friends
At least the ones that aren't dead

I know I never knew the cost of love
That's why I never got around to us

If you close your eyes you can still see the flashing lights
You can smell the smoke
The darkness and the safety of a more fucked up place
It was a better time
To be alive
But the heat always rises and the cracks
In the council house window won't keep the cold out forever, no

I know I never knew the cost of love
That's why I never got around to us
I can't help losing when you've rigged the game
And every song I sing just sounds the same

Stonecutter my cold heart is for you
Never knew there was so much damage a boy could do
You crushed my conscience and you took it like a drug
Now the world is on fire and our leaders are drunk

You can take a high grade, over again
The feeling stays the same
'Til it ends

I know I never knew the cost of love
That's why I never got around to us
I can't help losing when you've rigged the game
And every song I sing just sounds the same
