The Price You Pay Lyrics

Cover art for The Price You Pay lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

I think dillpickle got it right. There's a price you pay for every big decision you make - whether you get what you want or you don't.

This verse kills me: Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong Where the dark of night holds back the light of day And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay

When you go after your dreams with everything you've got, sometimes you fail outright but defeat is so hard to take. So you keep fighting, only now you're just fighting for the hard price you paid for chasing your dream. That's all there is left.
