[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
[Pre-Chorus]
'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 'til they lose the homะต
For the price I paid for the lovะต 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 'til 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 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 gon' win 'til they lose the home (Yeah)
The time I wasted betting my days on you
And 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, late
