The Price of Love Lyrics

Cover art for The Price of Love lyrics by White Lies

i agree the wife left her husband, who truly loved her, and ran off with this other guy, who didnt really he was only using her, but love blinded her and she couldnt see that he was trouble however, "she knew deep inside that he planned it this way" tells us that even despite her doubts, she fell for him, ie. love is illogical and dangerous

EITHER they pretended it was a kidnapping, so they could get a million dollars, but the husband didnt come up with the money, so the new man leaves her, OR he really kidnaps her and as her husband couldnt come up with the whole ransom he takes no pity and has something horrible happen to her trapped in that room

either way, he tells the husband she's dead out of revenge, or spite, so she can't go back to him she realizes the mistake she made. the girl gets her just desserts it shows that all is fair in love (and war), so theres a sense of irony in this sick form of justice

all this can just as easily be a metaphor for the same kind of situation in every day life

in the end of the story, all love has brought out is the worst in people, and fucked up peoples lives and everyone has come to realize "the price of love" baically it isnt worth it

Ooooh, bitter thoughts there....but in a sad way, I have to agree with you partly.
