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

oh--what if it´s true
...what my heart says
oh--what´ll i do
what if this feeling becomes hard to part with

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

oh-- if i´d only known
...what your heart cost
oh-- can we call it a loan
and a debt that i owe
on a bet that i lost

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´ll still know that it´s me

oh-- what if it´s true
...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 someway that we may have yet to be shown

oh-- if i´d only known
...what your heart cost
oh-- can we call it a loan
and a debt that i owe
on a bet that i lost
