[Verse 1]Loved and lost so many times beforeAnd it always kept you holding out for moreBut it'd take everything I have to make you stayThat's too high a price to payI can't love you in the way you want me toSo please don't ask for more than I can doIf you love me then you won't stand in my wayThat's too high a price to pay[Chorus]It just slipped right through my handBefore it ever had a chanceIt's over but I know I'll be okayIt's just too high a price to pay[Verse 2]The bitter end will always leave a scarNever had a chance to mend this heartTurn my head and watch you walk awayThat's the price I had to pay[Chorus]It just slipped right through my handBefore it ever had a chanceIt's over but I know I'll be okayIt's just too high a price to pay
