[Verse 1]
I kept your coat on the chair
Like you might walk back in
Your cup by the sink
Still warm in my mind
The house got too quiet
When your laugh moved out
Now every room asks
Where you been
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I hear you
In the halls, in the rain
In the way my own heart
Says your name
I held on so tightly
To the shape of your hand
But love leaves a mark
That I can't mend
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
[Verse 2]
I still set two plates
When I forget, I cry
Your side of the bed
Folds me in half at night
Even your old perfume
Lives in my shirt
Like a soft little ghost
That knows my hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I hear you
In the halls, in the rain
In the way my own heart
Says your name
I held on so tightly
To the shape of your hand
But love leaves a mark
That I can't mend
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
[Bridge]
Let the tears fall slow
Let them clean my face
What breaks me down
Is what gave me grace
If heaven heard us
It would know my song
I lost you here
But I loved you strong
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
I kept your coat on the chair
Like you might walk back in
Your cup by the sink
Still warm in my mind
The house got too quiet
When your laugh moved out
Now every room asks
Where you been
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I hear you
In the halls, in the rain
In the way my own heart
Says your name
I held on so tightly
To the shape of your hand
But love leaves a mark
That I can't mend
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
[Verse 2]
I still set two plates
When I forget, I cry
Your side of the bed
Folds me in half at night
Even your old perfume
Lives in my shirt
Like a soft little ghost
That knows my hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I hear you
In the halls, in the rain
In the way my own heart
Says your name
I held on so tightly
To the shape of your hand
But love leaves a mark
That I can't mend
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
[Bridge]
Let the tears fall slow
Let them clean my face
What breaks me down
Is what gave me grace
If heaven heard us
It would know my song
I lost you here
But I loved you strong
[Chorus]
Grief is the price we pay for love
Grief is the price we pay
If I could trade this ache for dust
I'd still choose you any day
Grief is the price we pay for love
(For love)
And I pay it still
'Cause you were real
