Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I had something good and true
Let it slip right out of view
Now I'm walking empty streets
Chasing echoes of her feet
[chorus]
The love I lost, the love I lost
I didn't see the hidden cost
Now I'm paying every day
For letting something good just fade away
[verse]
Pride kept talking louder than my heart
Told myself we'd never really part
But silence has a way of growing cold
Till the story's already told
[chorus]
The love I lost, the love I lost
I didn't see the hidden cost
Now I'm paying every day
For letting something good just fade away
[bridge]
If I could turn the pages back
I'd chase down every step I lack
But all I've got is what I learned
The candle burns when love is spurned
[chorus]
The love I lost, the love I lost
I didn't see the hidden cost
Now I'm paying every day
For letting something good just fade away

Chasing echoes of her feet

The love I lost, the love I lost
I didn't see the hidden cost

Told myself we'd never really part
But silence has a way of growing cold
Till the story's already told

But all I've got is what I learned
The candle burns when love is spurned

[chorus]
The love I lost, the love I lost
I didn't see the hidden cost
Now I'm paying every day
For letting something good just fade away
