Everybodys
Complainin
They talk about how much it costs
To live today
While theyre scrimpin
Not savin
They never think about the price
Theyll have to pay

You see
The high cost of living
Isnt doing without
Its not the clouds in the mirror
Or the shiver of doubt
Its the phone call in the night
Thatll make you cry
The high cost of living
Is saying goodbye

I once had
A kingdom
It was made of fools gold
And a beggars debt
I was living
Unforgiving
I didnt know the sacrifice
Or the consequence


Because
The high cost of living
Isnt doing without
Its not the clouds in the mirror
Or the shiver of doubt
Its the phone call in the night
Thatll make you cry
The high cost of living
Is saying goodbye


Dont talk about what youll do
When you finally hit the big one
Its time to know that time
Doesnt stop for intermission


Because
The high cost of living
Isnt doing without
Its not the clouds in the mirror
Or the shiver of doubt
Its the phone call in the night
Thatll make you cry
The high cost of living
Is saying goodbye

Sayin goodbye
