All Costs

He left me in my driveway

Never to be seen from again

That house would burn three months later

And I would not reach out

The story of how we end

Still haunts me into silence

It frightens me most now that I can smell

The fresh blood of a new love

Protect it at all costs

Protect me when I'm lost

I wonder, how many more miles are left to go

Before it's over

A dying breath full of regret

Will you regret me, too

The story of how we met

Still rushes me into romance

It frightens me most now that I'm choking

On the fresh blood of a new love

Protect it at all costs

Protect me when I'm lost

Protect me at all costs

Who will love me when I'm wrong
