Unreasonable cost

I Have my friends, I have my fears 

But in the end I shed my tears   


You can�t change my  feelings by making me laugh

Because I gave away my heart and now its broken in half 


When I�m with him I wish time would freeze 

We�d glide through the sky on a warm gentle breeze 


I feel like I�m in the heavens above 

When we share a passion called �love�


With him I felt I had wings to fly 

Like a soaring angel in a lullaby 


The truth between us started to unfold 

and now I�m left so bitter and cold 


I knew it never would work, so why wait 

I�d still relive it any time any date 


We walked through the halls side by side 

But now those are memories that have died 


I don�t know what to believe  good or bad 

But afterwards it finds a way to make me sad 


All my aspects, my dreams are a lie 

So now I lay in my bed and cry 


I always loved it being us, always together

But now I realize nothing lasts forever 


I took the risk, I made the jump

But now I�ve crashed and made a thump 


People can fight love or go to defeat

I was a fighter, but now I�ve been beat 


They say its better to have loved and lost 

But why does love have such an unreasonable cost?
