My friend said she could see no way ahead

And I was probably better off without you

She said to face up to the fact that you weren't coming back

And she could make me happy like you used to

But I'm sorry to say I turned her away

Knowing everything she said was true

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do



There's something inside that hurts my foolish pride

To visit the places we used to go together

Not a day goes by that I don't sit and wonder why

Your feelings for me didn't last forever

Girl I love you so much that sometimes it's such

I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do



So keep that phone out of my way for the things I must say

Are empty if you don't believe they're true

And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

That's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do



I love you so much that baby it's such

I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe



And that's the price I pay for loving you the way that I do
