Silent Wars - Pay the Price

I have to pay the price…
There’s more hope in store
Come on, man – roll the dice
Debt piles up in my mind…what am I fighting for?
I’m an infatuated boy…awfully blind
You burned me with your lies

*chorus* 
Don’t start another World War with your silent wars…
Our friendship bond is getting weaker…I must find a cure
To this heartache and help me, for heaven’s sake!
I’m breaking by the seams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
We’re on each other’s team
Do you still have low self-esteem?
Don’t you feel like giving up sometimes?

I have to pay the price…
There’s more hope in store
Come on, man – roll the dice
Debt piles up in my mind…what am I fighting for?
I’m an infatuated boy…awfully blind
You burned me with your lies

*chorus* 
Don’t start another World War with your silent wars…
Our friendship bond is getting weaker…I must find a cure
To this heartache and help me, for heaven’s sake!
I’m breaking by the seams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
We’re on each other’s team
Do you still have low self-esteem?
Don’t you feel like giving up sometimes?

I have to pay the price…
There’s more hope in store
Come on, man – roll the dice
Debt piles up in my mind…what am I fighting for?
I’m an infatuated boy…awfully blind
You burned me with your lies

I died inside, but I keep trying to wave my goodbyes
I was a victim to your abominable, truth-lacking lies
I must leave you sooner or later…
I feel regret and I’m not a pretender
I won’t lie to myself…
Don’t place me on the far corner shelf

*chorus* 
Don’t start another World War with your silent wars…
Our friendship bond is getting weaker…I must find a cure
To this heartache and help me, for heaven’s sake!
I’m breaking by the seams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
We’re on each other’s team
Do you still have low self-esteem?
Don’t you feel like giving up sometimes?

I’m so sorry, but our love was worthless
It’s not priceless like my reveries
I’m so sorry, but our love made me feel breathless
I’m in my emotional mess again…I’m trapped in my miseries
I dreamt about you once upon a time
Once in a lifetime, I felt sorry for you…but not this time

I have to pay the price…
There’s more hope in store
Come on, man – roll the dice
Debt piles up in my mind…what am I fighting for?
I’m an infatuated boy…awfully blind
You burned away the callous goodbyes

*chorus* 
Don’t start another World War with your silent wars…
Our friendship bond is getting weaker…I must find a cure
To this heartache and help me, for heaven’s sake!
I’m breaking by the seams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my broken dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
Repair my shattered dreams
We’re on each other’s team
Do you still have low self-esteem?
Don’t you feel like giving up sometimes?

Let me whisper my dirty secrets to you
Let the wicked wind blow
Rock on till the break of dawn! You’re a part of my crew
Discard the raindrops from bitter clouds and go with the flow
Roll the dice and pay the price
Give me your advice and I’m quite aware that I’m fire and your ice
But, opposites attract
And that’s a hot and cold fact
