Lyrics

I was running with a fever
I was sinking down in my soul
When I seen a fortune teller
To hear what the future holds
I crossed her palm with silver
I hung on every word
She moaned and groaned and rolled her eyes
This is what I heard
She said that everything happens for a reason
The reason's not always clear
Sometimes we must learn to lose
Everything we hold dear
Live after all this heartache
We paid too high a price
All we can do is live and hope
It's worth the sacrifice
I said I couldn't help but notice
She used the royal we
Was she trying to have the whole wide world
Or was it only me?
'Cause I kept hoping for good news
I would need a helping hand
She just sat and laughed right in my face
So don't you understand
That everything happens for a reason
The reason's not always clear
Sometimes we must learn to lose
Everything we hold dear
Live after all this heartache
We paid too high a price
All we can do is live and hope
It's worth the sacrifice
I went running from the fairground
Somehow I found my way back home
I took a knife to my wife and children
Sent them all to kingdom come
Put a match to our possessions
And as the fire took control
I felt the fever slowly leaving
With the sickness in my soul
When they asked me why I did it
What was going through my head
I just smiled and told them word for word
What the fortune teller said
She said that everything happens for a reason
The reason's not always clear
Sometimes we must learn to lose
Everything we hold dear
Live after all this heartache
We paid too high a price
All we can do is live and hope
It's worth the sacrifice
It's worth the sacrifice
It was worth the sacrifice
