Jae Jin - The Cost

Copied!

Every word that you speak
Is like a rope that's tightening on me
But you're the chair beneath my feet
Keeping me alive from underneath

I was afraid to take a single step
But you were unsteady too
I cut myself upon your broken heart
That was the cost of loving
You

With every word that I've said
I was reaching out with all I had in me
If only I knew how much you really cared
I wouldn’t fight against the dream you couldn't share
I just wanted to be seen, to be loved
But you were not ready to
I didn’t know this depth of loneliness
Would be the cost of loving
You

Don't say a word
Just let me walk away for now
Just hold me now
Too hard
Still feel you
To keep holding on
All around
Just need to know
I love you but I can't go on
That I'm not alone
This is the cost
This is the cost
The cost
Ohh
This is the cost of loving you
Cost of loving you

His big presence, good natured heart and strong force of soulful positivity are heard in each note. If you’re not listening, you’re missing out.” -John Lennon Songwriting Contest
