I don't want to be the way I am
But I, think it's out of my control
Look what time has done to me
What I could be, I'll never know
I don't want you to be ignorant
Of everything that I endured
You could've been my one escape
But you took away my future
Chorus:
This is the price, when you play the game
Don't be surprised, if the pawns don't forget
Want you to know, want you to feel the pain
This is what you paid to stay ahead, of the game
I don't want to think about it now
Every step I take is a reminder
I'll never have again all that I lost
You can't replace what's gone forever
Chorus
If you just hide behind your people
You'll never know the true extent
What we had to say goodbye to
It may be over, but it never ends
Chorus x 2
This is what you paid, to stay ahead
Me
