COST


V-1
HAVE YOU SEEN ME LATELY,
HAVE I CHANGED GREATLY?
HAS THE WEIGHT I LOST,
CAME AT TO HIGH A COST?
WAS IT THE RIGHT WAY,
I TOOK THAT DAY?
TO GIVE UP SO GREAT A TREASURE,
FOR IT, SEEMS ONLY A MINUTE OF PLEASURE.


CHORUS
WAS IT SO WISE,
TO JUST, CLOSE MY EYES?
TO PRETEND THERE WAS NO COST,
OR IN THE PROGRESS MYSELF, I LOST.

V-2
THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED I THOUGHT,
FOR INTO THIS LIE TO MYSELF, I BROUGHT.
THAT WHEN I NEEDED THIS,
THE HEARTACHE, I WOULD MISS.
OH, HOW I WAS SO WRONG,
AS TO MY SANITY, I SAY SO LONG.

CHORUS
WAS IT SO WISE,
TO JUST, CLOSE MY EYES?
TO PRETEND THERE WAS NO COST,
OR IN THE PROGRESS MYSELF, I LOST.

BRIDGE
AS NOW I LOOK BACK,
WHY DID I GET OFF TRACK?

V-3
NOW, I HAVE MYSELF HURT,
HAVING LOST ALL, MY SELF WORTH?
JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THE COST,
THAT FOR IT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY, THE MOST.

CHORUS
WAS IT SO WISE,
TO JUST, CLOSE MY EYES?
TO PRETEND THERE WAS NO COST,
OR IN THE PROGRESS MYSELF, I LOST.

TO PRETEND THERE WAS NO COST,
OR IN THE PROGRESS MYSELF, I LOST.
