The Cost
Your cross is mine to bear, your pain is mine to feel
As I slip into the church, I crawl to the altar and kneel
I pray for God to save you, from a world of lies and hate
But God's own precious mercy, is just always a little too late
So take my hand, I know you're lost
You chose happiness and you paid the cost
My good intentions are dipped in sin
I dream of you, but where do I begin
And what's the cost for me and you
Time after time, we had to choose
And what's the cost for me and you
We can't go back to what we knew
And what's the cost
But I'll still drag your cross through the desert, and I'll wear your scars like a badge
And I'll scream your name into the night time, until my voice is all you have
But I wish that I could talk, for all I do is judge and gawk
From my tower of pity and doubt
Please be silent, the devil needs to shout
So take my hand, I know you're lost
You chose happiness and you paid the cost
My good intentions are dipped in sin
I dream of you, but where do I begin
And what's the cost for me and you
Time after time, we had to choose
And what's the cost for me and you
We can't go back to what we knew
And what's the cost
We thought we'd found the best, that we'd always pass the test
But our answers are always wrong, that's why I wrote this song
Guess I'll just go back to my corner, and be a good little mourner
Where I'll reign as the king of pretend, that way I can be your friend
But I'm still going to fight for you, I'm still going to lie for you
Lord knows I've cried for you, laid down my life for you
Because I know the true cost, and I know you're not really lost
You're the one who's saving me, from my own blessed misery
And who's paying the cost
Time after time, we had to choose
And who's paying the cost
We can't go back to what we knew
Every night I cried thinking of you, I didn't know what to do
So I wrote this song, Lord, I hope I'm not wrong
I just pray, that you find your way
And it's the best that I can do, it's my truth because I am lost
I'm lost, but I'm willing to pay the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost
As I slip into the church, I crawl to the altar and kneel
I pray for God to save you, from a world of lies and hate
But God's own precious mercy, is just always a little too late
So take my hand, I know you're lost
You chose happiness and you paid the cost
My good intentions are dipped in sin
I dream of you, but where do I begin
And what's the cost for me and you
Time after time, we had to choose
And what's the cost for me and you
We can't go back to what we knew
And what's the cost
But I'll still drag your cross through the desert, and I'll wear your scars like a badge
And I'll scream your name into the night time, until my voice is all you have
But I wish that I could talk, for all I do is judge and gawk
From my tower of pity and doubt
Please be silent, the devil needs to shout
So take my hand, I know you're lost
You chose happiness and you paid the cost
My good intentions are dipped in sin
I dream of you, but where do I begin
And what's the cost for me and you
Time after time, we had to choose
And what's the cost for me and you
We can't go back to what we knew
And what's the cost
We thought we'd found the best, that we'd always pass the test
But our answers are always wrong, that's why I wrote this song
Guess I'll just go back to my corner, and be a good little mourner
Where I'll reign as the king of pretend, that way I can be your friend
But I'm still going to fight for you, I'm still going to lie for you
Lord knows I've cried for you, laid down my life for you
Because I know the true cost, and I know you're not really lost
You're the one who's saving me, from my own blessed misery
And who's paying the cost
Time after time, we had to choose
And who's paying the cost
We can't go back to what we knew
Every night I cried thinking of you, I didn't know what to do
So I wrote this song, Lord, I hope I'm not wrong
I just pray, that you find your way
And it's the best that I can do, it's my truth because I am lost
I'm lost, but I'm willing to pay the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost
