[Verse 1]
I can't give you all the things you've never had
I can't sing away the things that make you sad
I can't be there when you need me to be
I can't fix your eyes and try to help you see

[Chorus]
While I ain't there, this is all for you
And I don't care if you're scared of the truth
'Cause I got lost just when I thought that I'd been found
And the counted costs don't add up to nothing now

[Verse 2]
I can't promise you that you'll be okay
I can't write a song to help you kill the pain
I can't come running back to where I need to be
I can't fix your heart when it turns out of beat

[Chorus]
While I ain't there, this is all for you
And I don't carе if you're scared of the truth
'Causе I got lost just when I thought that I'd been found
And the counted cost don't add up to nothing now

[Outro]
And the counted costs don't add up to nothing now
No the counted costs don't add up to nothing now
