Counting The Costs

woke up this morning to the sound of the rain
oh-woo-hoo
thinkin’ to myself i should get back in the game
oh-woo-hoo
everybody gets a little sentimental
searchin’ for that certain someone who’ll be gentle
with our fragile egos, so here we go

i packed my toothbrush and i got in the car
oh-woo-hoo
i tried to run but i didn’t get far
well i ran so hard i hit myself coming the other way
and from the look on my face i had something to say
but i was in no state to listen
it’s a lesson i’ll be missin’
it’s true

this is the long kiss goodbye
i always knew, but i was eager to try
i still make the same mistakes
it’s not just give – it’s give and take
well i’ve been counting the cost while you’ve been cutting your losses again
at least i know what i’ve earned, where as you still haven’t learned

everybody bleeds, just feels different when it’s me

well i’ve been counting the costs
been counting the costs
been counting the costs
and i’m still winning
