The Price

THE PRICE

(McDonald)

I remember saying my next life would be better

But here I am still dealing with today

No matter how I run, I can’t escape each waking day

The truth is something I don’t wanna hear

I can try to hide behind it, put on a face as tough as steel

But a private moment reveals the diff’rent tune that plays inside

What plays inside?

The Price is simply too high for getting inside,

You want my soul on the dotted line

But I have my pride, I tell you no lies,

I won’t give up my heart and mind

I try to act so tough, when deep inside I know well enough

That sanity walks on a razor’s edge

My features soften now, I think back and remember how

I found myself, a million miles away

I can try to hide behind it, put on a face as cold as steel

But a private moment reveals the diff’rent tune that plays inside

What plays inside?

The Price is simply too high for getting inside,

You want my soul on the dotted line

But I have my pride, I tell you no lies,

I won’t give up my heart and mind

In my mind I keep myself well-protected

It’s easier to lie to yourself

‘Cause you wanna believe it’s true,

But reality crashes through your mind,

And what have you got, when you’re left with broken dreams?
