[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
