You've Got to Pay

I had to choose which one to lose

I couldn't do it for they each had their use

It was so hard, tearin' apart

Now I know you gotta get it right at the start

I learned my lesson now

I learned it the hard way

If you wanna be in love

You've gotta pay and pay and pay

After the pain that was suffered in vain

The dark roads we travelled with nothing to gain

And though the pleasures will always be treasured

It's a shame it came to such drastic measures

Indecision, lack of conviction

Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say

If you are a slave to love

You’re gonna pay and pay and pay

Our flightpath’s a gradual descent from the firmament

I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent

What was once sacred is now filled with hatred

How come such love can be dissipated?

I've had enough of all this poison and decay

If you wanna come face to face with love

You've gotta pay and pay and pay
