Expensive Love Songtext
von Gavin Castleton

There′s a drip in the tub that I just can't fix
And I can′t find a rug to cover up the skid marks from where your feet kept losing ground
You were carving up a tomb from the home I found

I could afford the surgery
And I could absorb the cost of drugs
But I just needed some sort of guarantee
That you'd see me through

Dear Lu
Loving you is so expensive
Loving you is so expensive, darling
Loving you is so expensive, Lumey
I knew you had to go but didn't know it′d be so costly

You got a little bit sicker when you came on tour
But still you stood right by me ′til your legs were sore
And it was hard to leave you out in the van some nights
Sometimes you gotta do wrong to make a long-term right


And then you got much worse when I took the job
I had to leave work late and get up at ungodly hours to get out of all the debts I owed
Maybe you couldn't see the man for the brand new clothes

But everything else was much improved
We ate our weight in brand-name foods
I became the father you never knew
But it was too late, dear Lu
Loving you is so expensive
Loving you is so expensive, darling
Loving you is so expensive, Lumey
I knew you had to go but didn′t know how much it'd cost me
Loving you
Loving you
Loving you
I knew you had to go but didn′t know
I didn't know
I didn′t know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn′t know
