Lyrics
verse 1: No one has to tell me that I made a mistake
Everytime I look back I know I was wrong
But if everything happens for a reason
Than I know somehow it?ll all work out
But there?s a gnawing feeling chilling all my bones
letting me know this is different
letting me know this is serious
And the price I?ll pay is what it?s all about
chorus: This one?s gonna cost me
More than I?ve ever paid
More than I?ve ever felt
More than I?ve ever known
This time I?ve gone too far
I?ve let you down again
I?ve finally burnt the bridge
I?ve made my bed for good
verse 2: My friends try and tell me you?re nothin? but bad news
In my heart I knew that, but I didn?t care
You warned me, you said you weren?t my kind
I didn?t want to hear you, I wanted to believe
But sure enough it happened; my world came apart
All the while you knew it was not meant to be
All the while you knew I was not the first
You?ve made it your purpose to deceive
chorus
bridge: if you were just another fling
this would be so easy
it?s more than just a ring
it?s more than just a vow
this is more like a battle
where my best friend must defeat me
you?ve succeeded in your mission
you are the victor now
chorus
