about

This quirky pop song opens with delicate vocals and intricate guitar then takes you on a roller coaster ride to a chorus rich with swirling vocal harmonies. An all too familiar story about the emotional and financial debt we find ourselves in when love goes wrong. Dedicated to over-used and over worked credit cards everywhere.

lyrics

THE COST OF LOVE

I paid the price, I paid it twice
And I’d pay it all again to be with you
You cashed in, ‘til I was spent
You never paid back anything I lent
And you don’t care how much it cost us
Or if our credit is overdue
You’d gladly stay in debt our whole life
So I’d stay with you

That’s the cost of love
That’s the cost of love

I went broke, when you first spoke,
Guess I let you get inside my head
You paid for me, but I was free
You didn’t care what love was costing me
You didn’t care when I went bankrupt
Or when my credit went overdue
You used up all the goodwill I’d saved
To bring me down to you

That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)
That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)

What’s your refund policy
For damaged goods – do you give love back
I’ll choose more carefully
Read T&C’s
Get my money back

I’m on my own, I don’t need a loan
Just trying to pay off my after-pay
For what it’s worth, I put you first
I borrowed all I could to make you stay
I’d text you but you’re out of credit
And all my friends are over you
I think your price-tags over-rated
I paid too much for you

That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)
That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)
I hate you
That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)
You hate me
That’s the cost of love
(The cost of love)

Hi, I’m Megan Albany and I am so proud of The Very Last List of Vivian Walker and am very excited to invite you into Viv’s world. She’s a fantastic character but sometimes even the best words are not enough. I am not sure if the book inspired the music or the music inspired the book. Either way, the soundtrack will deepen your dive into the beautifully dysfunctional life of Vivian Walker. ... more
