May Erlewine - The Cost Lyrics

Don't try to change my mind
I do it all the time
And don't try to draw the lines between

And isn't it just like they said?
She's making her own bed
Well, I needed to rest my head
And get some sleep

And who says we have to be right?
I get it wrong all the time
I'm learning to fall and survive
That's how I know I'm alive

And don't try to fill in the blank
I meant to leave it that way
Some things aren't meant to say
It seems

And isn't it just what they thought
I paid exactly the price that it costs
And sometimes it costs a lot
To dream

And who says we have to be right?
I get it wrong all the time
I'm learning to fall and survive
That's how I know I'm alive

And who says we have to be tough?
If we're living and not giving up
If we're living we're giving enough
And who says we have to be tough?
