No one knows the kind of weight we both choose A thousand miles to smile and try to stay in tune But the fame we made has no escape And it tears our marriage in two Try and stay thankful for it all Salvage what is left when the curtain falls I don't want a life without you Are the tears worth the gold If we don't make it through? ♪ We go on in ten, but we ain't talked in days And neither one believes what the other has to say And the agent says this is our only chance To play their evil game Line 'em up, let the carnival begin Feast upon our hurt, it's all we have to give And I don't want a life without you Are the tears worth the gold If we don't make it through? ♪ I won't sleep tonight, I can't keep from crying And countless people care, but who the hell am I? In the end, I'm just your husband And I've vowed to give my life When all the bright lights dim and dark I'll only be judged by how I held your heart I don't want a life without you Are the tears worth the gold If we don't make it through?
