[Verse 1] You said, “Stand by me” Now I know the fee You left that bill on me Cold as the key Your name on my tongue Like a coin gone wrong I kept my word too long Now my hands feel numb [Pre-Chorus] You want my blood You want my time You want my yes On every line But every favor Has teeth and bone I hear them counting Through my phone [Chorus] What’s the price of loyalty? Tell me, baby, what you need What’s the price of loyalty? I paid in full, you still want more of me (what you need) (what you need) What’s the price of loyalty? Got my heart in custody What’s the price of loyalty? You keep the chain, I keep the bleed [Verse 2] I saw your smile On a borrowed face Saw my old vows Get stripped and traced In that backroom smoke Under dead-eyed glass You said, “One more promise” I said, “How long does it last?” Now every truth Comes with a knife You call it love I call my life [Pre-Chorus] You want my blood You want my time You want my yes On every line But every favor Has teeth and bone I hear them counting Through my phone [Chorus] What’s the price of loyalty? Tell me, baby, what you need What’s the price of loyalty? I paid in full, you still want more of me (what you need) (what you need) What’s the price of loyalty? Got my heart in custody What’s the price of loyalty? You keep the chain, I keep the bleed [Bridge] I walked that thin line Till it cut through Now I see your love Is a velvet noose If I stay, I fade If I go, you hunt Either way, your hands Are always at my front [Chorus] What’s the price of loyalty? Tell me, baby, what you need What’s the price of loyalty? I paid in full, you still want more of me (what you need) (what you need) What’s the price of loyalty? Got my heart in custody What’s the price of loyalty? You keep the chain, I keep the bleed
