The Price We Pay Lyrics by Popsicle

Stand Up and Testify

1997

[Verse 1]
I sort of thought I had a will and I thought I knew it
Deep down in my soul one single place
The essence of a person never changing
But traveling wild and winding ways
[Verse 2]
I only mean that I'm surprised every time it happens
Every time I don't recognize myself
Usually it ends in disappointment
Sleepless night and a tale to tell
[Chorus]
Is it really worth the price we pay?
When we don't want it
Stay away from what we've got
And it's so funny how we hurt ourselves and
Make the same mistakes and never
Change when we get wiser
Will we learn as time goes by?
And ain't it funny how we hurt each other?
Suffer on our own and never change
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm not trying to excuse the way I acted
I don't wanna put the blame on you
But I was alone, and I kind of liked it
When I saw you walk across the room
[Verse 4]
You really handled it with care, and I hardly noticed
But I became aware I was too confused
Tangled up in you and didn't mind that
I just could not decide who was being used
[Chorus]
Do you think it's worth the price we pay?
When we don't want it
Stay away from what we've got
And it's so funny how we hurt ourselves and
Make the same mistakes and never
Change when we get wiser
Will we learn as time goes by?
And ain't funny how we hurt each other?
Suffer on our own and never change
[Chorus]
Let me ask you one thing
Is it really worth the price we pay?
When we don't want it
Stay away from what we've got
And it's so funny how we hurt ourselves and
Make the same mistakes and never
Change when we don't want it
Stay away from what we've got
And it's so funny how we hurt ourselves and
Make the same mistakes and never
Change when we get wiser
Will we learn as time goes by?
Ain't it funny how we hurt each other?
Suffer on our own and never change
