Unreasonable cost


I Have my friends, I have my fears 

But in the end I shed my tears   


You can’t change my  feelings by making me laugh

Because I gave away my heart and now its broken in half 


When I’m with him I wish time would freeze 

We’d glide through the sky on a warm gentle breeze 


I feel like I’m in the heavens above 

When we share a passion called “love”


With him I felt I had wings to fly 

Like a soaring angel in a lullaby 


The truth between us started to unfold 

and now I’m left so bitter and cold 


I knew it never would work, so why wait 

I’d still relive it any time any date 


We walked through the halls side by side 

But now those are memories that have died 


I don’t know what to believe  good or bad 

But afterwards it finds a way to make me sad 


All my aspects, my dreams are a lie 

So now I lay in my bed and cry 


I always loved it being us, always together

But now I realize nothing lasts forever 


I took the risk, I made the jump

But now I’ve crashed and made a thump 


People can fight love or go to defeat

I was a fighter, but now I’ve been beat 


They say its better to have loved and lost 

But why does love have such an unreasonable cost?
