"Tears Worth The Gold" lyrics

No one knows the kind of weight we both choose
A thousand miles to smile and try to stay in tune
But the fame we made has no escape
And it tears our marriage in two

Try and stay thankful for it all
Salvage what is left when the curtain falls

I don't want a life without you
Are the tears worth the gold
If we don't make it through?

We go on in ten but we ain't talked in days
Neither one believes what the other has to say
The agent says this is our only chance
To play their evil game

Line 'em up, let the carnival begin
Feast upon our hurt, it's all we have to give

I don't want a life without you
Are the tears worth the gold
If we don't make it through?

I won't sleep tonight, I can't keep from crying
And countless people care, but who the hell am I?
In the end, I'm just your husband
And I've vowed to give my life

When all the bright lights dim and dark
I'll only be judged by how I held your heart

I don't want a life without you
Are the tears worth the gold
If we don't make it through?
