Verse

In the morning when I closed my eyes
you were sleeping in paradise.
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might.

Chorus

Oh, oh, what if it's true, aah, what my heart says?
Oh, oh, what'll I do?
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with?

Verse

You were meant to play your part
In the design of a desperate heart.
And while you gave your love to me
I was betting I was getting it free.

Chorus

Oh, oh, if I'd only know, aah, what your heart costs.
Oh, oh, can we call it a loan,
And a debt that I owe on a bet that I lost?

Verse

In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you, no disguise.
I'm not sure who you think you'll see,
I'm just hoping you still know that it's me.

Chorus

Oh, oh, what if it's true, aah, better ask the man inside?
Oh, oh, there seem to be two;
One steals the love, and the other one hides.
Yeah, can we call it a loan
till I'm paid in full for the seeds I've sown?
Yeah, can we say that I've grown
in some ways that we may have yet to be shown?
Oh, oh, if I'd only know, aah, what your heart costs.
Oh, oh, can we call it a loan,
And a debt that I owe on a bet that I lost?
