You've Got to Pay

I had to choose which one to lose
 I couldn't do it for they each had their views
 It was so hard, tearing apart
 Now I know you gotta get it right at the start
 I learned my lesson now
 I learned it the hard way
 If you wanna be in love
 You've gotta pay and pay and pay
 After the pain that was suffered in vain
 The dark roads we travelled with nothing to gain
 And though the pleasures will always be treasured
 It's a shame it came to such drastic measures
 Indecision, lack of conviction
 Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say
 If you are a slave to love
 You're gonna pay and pay and pay
 Our flightpath's a gradual descent from the firmament
 I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent
 What was once sacred is now filled with hatred
 How come such love can be dissipated?
 I've had enough of all this poison and decay
 If you wanna come face to face with love
 You've gotta pay and pay and pay
