Girl, I’m trying to find a way
to get away from you.
If only I could find a way
to fall for someone new.
But there’s no escaping.
I’m locked up by your eyes.

I’m payin’ the price for you baby.
I’m payin’ the price for your love.
I’m payin’ the price and you must realize.
I’m payin’ with my heart.

You could never understand
the way I feel today.
And I could never understand
why life treats me this way.
But crying solves no problems.
A one sided love burns twice.

Well, someday I’ll forget you
and find good memories.
But until I forget you
I must ride the stormy seas.
For broken hearts heal slowly.
Like a cloudy sun melts ice.
