Counted Costs

(álbum: A Hard Up Life - 2021)

I can't give you all the things you've never had
I can't sing away the things that make you sad
I can't be there when you need me to be
I can't fix your eyes and try to help you see

While I ain't there, this is all for you
And I don't care if you're scared of the truth
'Cause I got lost just when I thought that I'd been found
And the counted costs don't add up to nothing now

I can't promise you that you'll be okay
I can't write a song to help you kill the pain
I can't come running back to where I need to be
I can't fix your heart when it turns out of beat

While I ain't there, this is all for you
And I don't care if you're scared of the truth
'Cause I got lost just when I thought that I'd been found
And the counted cost don't add up to nothing now

And the counted costs don't add up to nothing now
No the counted costs don't add up to nothing now
