Love Cost
Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I still on your mind?
Thought I made you happy baby
Then why was I left behind?
Symptoms of a love addict
My heart is sick
Symptoms of a love addict
I'm so drunk in love with you
Drugs and candy will not do
You are poison on my tongue
Tasting you my lips are numb
All the drugs for love I take
Overdosed I lay awake
Trying to take back what I've lost
To refund my love cost
Do you tell her,
All the things you told me yesterday?
And are you taking her,
The same way you took me away?
Symptoms of a love addict
My heart is sick
Symptoms of a love addict
I'm falling quick, oh
I'm so drunk in love with you
Drugs and candy will not do
You are poison on my tongue
Tasting you my lips are numb
All the drugs for love I take
Overdosed I lay awake
Trying to take back what I've lost
To refund my love cost
All the drugs for love I take
Overdosed I lay awake
Trying to take back what I've lost
To refund my love cost
The lyrics to Cassie Steele's "Love Cost" is a narrative of a woman who is experiencing the aftermath of a painful breakup. The song starts with the singer questioning her ex-partner if he still thinks of her and misses her despite them not being together anymore. She then admits to her addiction to love as she describes herself as a love addict. The presence of her ex-lover is slowly killing her, and the symptoms of withdrawal from love feel like an illness. She is desperate to make it work, as she talks about wanting to take back what she lost and refund her love cost.
In the chorus, the lyrics become more intense as the singer admits to feeling intoxicated by her love for her ex and that no other substance can match that feeling. Despite knowing that he is like poison to her, she craves him and is willing to take any amount of drugs to numb the pain of love's withdrawal. Steele also suggests that her ex-partner has moved on to another lover and questions if he is treating her the same way he treated her.
Overall, the song emphasizes the despair of unrequited love and the cost of being too invested in an individual who doesn't share the same level of emotion.

I love this song. Used to listen to this on the bus on the way to work. Kept me sane during a difficult period in which I was working a shit job and feeling low. Sigh, memories.

forever one of my favorite songs.. used to lay in bed and listen to it on my ipod thinking of my high school boyfriend (I was a dramatic teenager obvi lol) - nonetheless, I still sing the chorus at the top of my lungs missing the good old days.
