Ben Cooper - Everything Costs lyrics

[Verse 1] Dreams, like coins down a well Till I realized I was dumb for believing To the bird with no flight The skies don't ever offer respite So I wandered off And went to fill the halls in my shadow But everything costs Proof was etched into the backs of my hands [Bridge] I heard you say that you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost your way But I don't think you had much to lose That house was never built for you [Chorus] And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth with sin And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day You were just something they'd blame [Verse 2] Face, pressed into your hands Couldn't tell if you were crying or laughing They both sound the same When you ain't got no skin in the game So I took up the fight And the roaring in my head was like thunder Until I uncurled my fists And allowed myself to not give a damn [Bridge] I heard you say that we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost our way But I don't think we had much to lose That path was never built for us [Chorus] And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth with sin And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day We were just something they'd blame
