The Cost of It

Verse 1

Chrome

Red leather

I bought the car just to feel better

Rain on the glass

Cold

My heart is heavy and my pockets weigh a ton

I run

I hide

I run

Counting the blue strips inside the briefcase

I haven't seen your face

In months

Chorus

This ain't what I wanted

This ain't what I wanted

Empty rooms and silver spoons

This ain't what I wanted

I'm solo

I'm solo

Verse 2

Dust

Settles on the trophy shelf

I did it all for you and nothing for myself

I'm hollow

I'm shallow

I'm bitter

Lately I been sleeping with the lights on

Waiting for a siren

Low tide

High stakes

No brakes

Diamonds dripping down my neck like frozen sweat

I haven't slept yet

I'm gone

Chorus

This ain't what I wanted

This ain't what I wanted

Empty rooms and silver spoons

This ain't what I wanted

I'm solo

I'm solo

Bridge

Maybe it's the fame

Maybe it's the game

Maybe it's the name

I got everything I asked for

I got everything I paid for

But I lost you

Yeah I lost you

Chorus

This ain't what I wanted

This ain't what I wanted

Empty rooms and silver spoons

This ain't what I wanted

I'm solo

I'm solo

Post-Chorus

Solo

Solo

Solo

What's the cost

Look what I lost

Solo

Solo

Outro

Turn the engine off

Keys on the table

I'm done

I'm really done

Solo

Solo
