sleep isn't easy with a sky so blue
as you lie alone I'll creep into your dreams
far away I'm holding on to you
the web we made trapped us both inside of it
I gave my soul I thought you did too
you keep on trying to tear me apart

oh the time you cost me
oh the time you cost me

bright fire burning up my heart
your love just seems to tear us further apart
but more of you seems to fill my head everyday
I can't bear it when you go away
the [bad word] I gave to you, you just threw away
when I met you I wish I'd walked away

oh the time you cost me
oh the time you cost me

don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time
don't forget the time you cost me don't forget my time

burning, burning me up
burning, burning me up
burning, burning me up
burning, burning me up
burning, burning me up
burning, burning me up

bright fire burning up my heart
your love just seems to tear us further apart
but more of you seems to fill my head everyday
I can't bear it when you go away
the [bad word] I gave to you, you just threw away
when I met you I wish I'd walked away
