You're the price I paid

You were all I ever wanted
Everything I ever sought
I loved you very much
Yet not as much as I thought.

You and I would be perfect
We looked like we were meant to be
I would have said 'yes' had you asked me
Yet I prayed you would not.

There was a lot that I wanted
And everything comes for a price
There was something bigger than you or me
And you became my secret sacrifice.
