The Price We Pay

(album: Life Will Kill You - 2007)

Things never seem to go according to plan
So we always end up compromising
We're not smart enough to have a Plan B at hand
So we always end up improvising
It's killing us to settle with the cards we get
When we know there's much more at stake
But giving in to pressure is the safest bet
And it's also our biggest mistake
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay

We never asked to be put into this position
We never had high demands
We never claimed to be on some kind of mission
Like we had some kind of masterplan
It's not as if we know exactly what we came for
So we settle for what comes our way
We're always unprepared for the final encore
What the fuck are we supposed to say?
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay

That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay
That's the price we pay

Every move we make, every step we take
That's the price we pay
Every rule we break, every move we fake
That's the price we pay
Every move we make, every step we take
That's the price we pay
Every rule we break, every move we fake
That's the price we pay
