love came with a cost

**Verse 1** Love always had a price tag, I could never pay the cost, Left me broken at the doorway, In shadows feeling lost. Standing outside, I'm begging, For a warmth I can't reclaim, With a cup that’s overflowing, Spilling heartache and pain. **Chorus** I’m begging for love, under midnight skies, While the tears fall like rain from my weary eyes. Watching dreams pass by in the silent goodbye, Hoping someday I’ll find peace when love dies. **Verse 2** Cars keep riding, fading, As my hope drifts astray, Wondering if goodbye Is the price I’ve got to pay. The night sky lights up slowly, Stars whisper soft and bright, Dreaming I’m singing, Dancing with silver light. **Chorus** I’m begging for love, under midnight skies, While the tears fall like rain from my weary eyes. Watching dreams pass by in the silent goodbye, Hoping someday I’ll find peace when love dies. **Bridge** Maybe love’s not a burden, Maybe I just misplaced the key, But tonight I’m still standing, Longing for what I’ll never see. **Outro** Under starlit heavens, With my heart on my sleeve, I dance alone with shadows, This love I can't retrieve.
