My Songs

Fee

Verse 1:

You miss the smallest things after picking up the phone
You're so hardcore that you could be made of stone
You're addicted to your work, I've seen you drown in paper
I'm on the other side of the door where it's safer
Why do you let it all control your life
I've heard it every morning when you're fighting with your wife
I can feel the stress weighing down on my shoulders
Will you ever think straight even if you are sober

Chorus:

You tell me
Child, you better get used to an empty room
Your days of play and fun will come to an end soon
They say life is worth living that's why it's not free
We are a price that needs to pay for its own fee
We need to pay (x4)

Verse 2:

I can't remember the last time I've seen you home
Your meal is still on the table but it's gone cold
You act like there's nothing to life except for our survival
And the whole world is against you like it's your rival
Have you ever been made of glass, I've only seen your porcelain
You always seem to find a way out but never let us in
I know you have your battle scars but I've never seen one
Even if you are here with me, I can tell you're still on the run

Chorus:

You tell me
Child, you better get used to an empty room
Your days of play and fun will come to an end soon
They say life is worth living that's why it's not free
We are a price that needs to pay for its own fee
We need to pay (x4)

Bridge:

Life has its regrets, I'll make more than one mistake
A price may need to be paid but it's a risk I'm willing to take
There are those little moments that can never be replaced
Most of them you'll never get back if you don't stay
I hope you come to realize, I hope you soon know
This isn't just about you and you're not alone
I know I'm just a child but you can always lean on me
You never had to earn my love, it was always free

Chorus:

But you still tell me
Child, you better get used to an empty room
Your days of play and fun will come to an end soon
They say life is worth living that's why it's not free
We are a price that needs to pay for its own fee
We need to pay (x8)
