Analysis of Cost of Love
The pain is never going to cease
My heart will just keep dying
I hate to think that you are with her
I can't seem to stop crying
Now I am left all alone-
With all this isolated pain
And all the memories that we shared
Seem to still remain
This battle in love is never ending
I can't get you off my mind
Like I'm trapped inside your heart
-The way out, I cannot find
I can't help that you don't love me
That was your choice, Not mine
You wanted her heart-
And my heart was declined
I can't stand to see you with her
I want to feel your touch
For you to hold me in your arms
Your love would mean so much
But when you two go your seperate ways....
-You'll think of how you lost me
I'll already be over you-
But look what all it cost me
