The Cost of Losing You

Now I must back down

Before I say too much

This can't happen again

We can never lose touch

Time to bite my tongue

And let the blood flow

It won't hurt that bad

I need to let this go

The cost of losing you and this

Is far too much for me to bear

Won't stand in the way this time

'Cause what we have is far too rare

I don't think I could go on

Just the thought of losing you

I can't wrap my mind around

Instead it breaks my heart in two

So I will stop this now

Before it gets too deep

Can't let you have control

You'll never have my heart to keep

The cost of losing you and this

Is far too much for me to bear

Won't stand in the way this time

'Cause what we have is far too rare

Don't say that you're sorry

'Cause it only hurts me more

It's a dagger through my heart

We've been here once before

I'm crying just to reach you

You're dying just to please me

It's bringing us down the same road

It's time to open my eyes in see
