Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pay rent on a run down place
There ain't no view, but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
[Verse 2]
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby, I pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own
[Verse 3]
Used to be, I could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now I pay daily on what once was mine
Lord, I probably owe you
For these tears that I cry
[Verse 4]
'Cause I pay rent on a run down place
There ain't no view, but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
[Verse 5]
I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay you what I owe
Just so I can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where I'd go now
[Verse 6]
'Cause I pay rent on a run down place
There ain't no view, but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
Yeah, in my heart
The heart that you own
