Read your name in the newspaper
Turned away, but my vision blurred
Took a walk around the block
Collapsed and traced myself in chalk
And when I woke up in the rain
All wrapped up in a rusty chain
I crawled back in my cell
Threw the key into the well

So I sit back down on the couch and think
And I lay back down on my bed and drink
And I try to get some rest
Forget the pressure in my chest
Oh, someone's banging on my door
Where'd I put that .44
Yes I told my neighbors twice
I scare easy in the night

Well I try, and I try, and I try to get ahold of my mind
But the clock goes tick, tick, tock
Guess that's just the price you pay for love

Day by day, I missed the signs
That you were dragging far behind
And I was up ahead
Looking back at something dead
But from a distance I was blind
And you were tongue-tied in your mind
Well it had to be that way
For us both to really stay

Sunday, I sold back your ring
That diamond flashed a wicked grin
As the jeweler wrote a check
Made out to folly and regret
And as I stumbled through the store
I turned around like once before
And a vision crossed my mind
I knew I'd end up here in time

Well I try, and I try, and I try to learn from all that I done wrong
But it's true, I still did it all for you
Guess that's just the price you pay for love

One friend told me time will heal
And another friend said time will steal
Your heart eventually
There's no way out, you see
I said, where does love fit into this
He said, it's a game of hit or miss
But if you're a gambling man
Well, I'd draw another hand

So when I close my eyes tonight
And listen to the neighbors fight
I'll pretend its you and me
Thats how I wish that it could be
But I'm stuck inside my shrunken head
In my freezing room, in my empty bed
And I have nowhere to hide
I hope you're satisfied

Well I try, and I try, and I try to tell myself that it's alright
I'll get through and I'll wish the same for you
Guess that's just the price you pay for love
