[Verse 1]
Loved and lost so many times before
And it always kept you holding out for more
But it'd take everything I have to make you stay
That's too high a price to pay
I can't love you in the way you want me to
So please don't ask for more than I can do
If you love me then you won't stand in my way
That's too high a price to pay
[Chorus]
It just slipped right through my hand
Before it ever had a chance
It's over but I know I'll be okay
It's just too high a price to pay
[Verse 2]
The bitter end will always leave a scar
Never had a chance to mend this heart
Turn my head and watch you walk away
That's the price I had to pay
[Chorus]
It just slipped right through my hand
Before it ever had a chance
It's over but I know I'll be okay
It's just too high a price to pay
