Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The temple that I made of my body

Hoping they'd come and pray

The second that you came, I beg for mercy

But you say it's too late, late

[PreChorus]

'Cause you dug my earth in the dead of night

Just to bury my mind

But it'll rise in morning light

That time I tried to invite you inside

You stood over and not beside

[Chorus]

Price I paid

For the love I've thrown away

I'm betting on you

Knowing I'd lose

Time it takes

You to win my trust again

I can't renew

The faith too soon

Ooh

Nobody really know, know, knows

The house gon' win till they lose the home

For the price I paid

For the love I've thrown away

I'm betting on you

Knowing I'd lose

[Verse 2]

I gambled the remains of my faith

On the faint hope you'd stay

Waiting on the day you reclaim

All the pain I took away, away

[PreChorus]

Set the scene that sets me free

I washed your feet, you washed hands of me

Yet I keep growing taller

Here, still praying on my knees

[Chorus]

Price I paid

For the love I've thrown away

I'm betting on you

Knowing I'd lose

Time it takes

You to win my trust again

I can't renew

The faith too soon

Ooh

Nobody really know, know, knows

The house gon' win till they lose the home

For the price I paid

For the love I've thrown away

I'm betting on you

Knowing I'd lose

[Bridge]

This is a house of prayer (Of prayer)

Don't try win back losses here by claiming that you care

Say it's holier (Oh yeah)

Than just some place you kept running back to when you're scared

[Chorus]

Price I paid

For the love I've thrown away

I'm betting on you

Knowing I'd lose

Time it takes

You to win my trust again

I can't renew

The faith too soon

Ooh

Nobody really know, know, knows

The house gone win till they lose their home to prove

The time I wasted betting my days on you

Knowing I'd lose

[Outro]

The temple that I made of my body

Hoping they'd come and pray

The second that you came, I beg for mercy

But you say it's too late
