ETHER DRIFT

The Cost of Loving Her
Love twisted into control – when giving everything means losing yourself.
A raw, emotional track about devotion turned into pain, and how love, in the wrong hands, becomes a weapon.

Verse 1
Every day I wake up with a smile, but it fades
In her eyes, I see the world outside, I'm just a shade
I give her everything, my heart, my soul
But in her gaze, there's nothing but cold
Chorus
The cost of loving her is carved in pain
I give and I give, but it's never the same
My heart’s worn out, she doesn’t care
Love was a weapon - she left me there
Verse 2
I clean her house, cook her meals, do her chores
But when I speak, she walks right past my voice
She walks by without a second glance
Leaving me here, all alone, in this dance
Verse 3
Now I see it clear, this was never real
Just a story she wrote, to see how I'd feel
I gave her my soul, now there’s nothing left
The cost of loving her was loving myself to death
Pre-chorus
I hold on to hope, though it's hard to see
That maybe someday, she'll notice me
Chorus
The cost of loving her is carved in pain
I give and I give, but it's never the same
My heart’s worn out, she doesn’t care
Love was a weapon – she left me there
Pre-chorus
I hold on to hope, though it's hard to see
That maybe someday, she'll notice me
Chorus
The cost of loving her is carved in pain
I give and I give, but it's never the same
My heart’s worn out, she doesn’t care
Love was a weapon—she left me there
