Pay the Price - Tenowe

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

I had a dream, just the other night Me and my baby was having a fight It felt so real, but it wasn't funny I took my love, and she took my money But that's all right, I was only dreaming, But you know what, it got me thinking You gotta go, for what you know, Cause you're gonna reap just what you sow Cause life don't always go your way And that's the price you gotta pay I went to the kitchen, I turned on the sink Got a glass of water, and I began to think This lying and cheating has got to stop Before I lose everything that I got Sometimes I feel so strange Other times I feel so ashamed You gotta go, for what you know, You're gonna reap just what you sow Cause life don't always go your way And that's the price you gotta pay Well I tried to kick the habit I couldn't do it, I have to have it I broke her heart, and I broke the rules I get no sympathy for being a fool I cried so hard 'till I nearly drown And I paid the price for sneaking around You gotta go, for what you know, You're gonna reap just what you sow Life don't always go your way And that's the price you gotta pay
