i know what it costs lyrics

Every yes took something from me Every no left something behind I kept choosing the fire Just to feel warm inside I called damage desire I called chaos my home I thought love was the echo Not the place you belong Nothing here was wasted But nothing here was free I know what it cost To stay, to leave To love too hard To still believe I won't pretend it didn't hurt I survived the loss I know what it cost Some lessons don't come softly They arrive like storms But they leave you standing Knowing who you are I paid it And I kept my heart
