lyrics

It's 3am I'm at the bar
And the night outside is black like tar
And the last call still can't take me far
From wondering where you are
Well my mom tells me that I'm a fool
To love someone so mean and cruel
Tells me this one, he ain't good for you
But oh my heart what can I do?

So here I stayed and I prayed and I paid the cost of loving you.
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad cause I lost the only love I knew

Now I know it's true what I've been told
That heartache makes the young grow old
But when heartache's all I've got to hold
Then I'll take it though it keeps me cold
We said words that stabbed into our sides
And you looked at me with those cold finished eyes
On that quilt we laid down all the lies
Then like a baby I laid down and I cried and I cried

Cause here I stayed and I prayed and i paid the cost of loving you
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad cause i lost the only love I knew

It's a movie we all know from start to end
Where boy meets boy meets the boy and it begins
A losing game where no one ever wins
Then the scene where I can't pretend
That I don't know what is going on
When you call me and tell me you were wrong
But mark my words every single one
By morning boy I'll be gone gone gone

Cause here I stayed and I prayed and I paid the coast of loving you
Now I'm so mad I'm so lonely and sad I lost the only love I knew

I've lost the only love I knew
Now I'm alone so sad and blue
