How did you find there was somebody More than you want me I never understood Maybe I have never had you But I have been lonely for you lately I can't wait another day And when you let me get you close to me You run and leave me [Chorus:] Paying the price of love The start of my end over you When you're doing it for someone Who'll never be free Now is all there will ever be No more to live without you All of the nights I dream about you Oh Deep in the dark of the night I'm a man on a mission But safer with you home Never would I make you sorry You are the only drug I crave And I've been saving every day I held it all inside I pray you don't forget You've got me Paying the price of love My heart in my hands over you But the battle is just not fair You'll never be free That emotion is always replaying You know the strongest heart is broken When it falls You turn and walk away and let it die I've got this picture in my head Of you in someone else's bed And I am torn apart I'm torn apart inside I'll build my world around you I was nothing when I found you Paying the price of love [Chorus]
