"Cost Of Living" lyrics

"Cost Of Living"

How could you rob me blind
When I thought I was a navigator
I thought I could read the signs
You were sending up flares
Red and gold everywhere
I remember my hand
Thinking I had a chance
Reaching out for a dance
In the fiery air

Now I can't afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And I can't afford the cost of living
If you don't pay me no attention

I don't know what grows
From these tears that hit the ground
No shoulder to cry on
No comfort in the sound

And I can't afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And the debt of this loss
Too heavy to mention
Now I can't afford the cost of living
If you don't pay me no attention

And I can't afford
The cost of this living
Your love was a luxury you took from me
This poverty has made me so broken
And the debt of this loss
Too heavy to mention
Now I can't afford the cost of living
If you don't pay me no attention
