If Its Love (Then Bet It All)

You could build a wall around you now

No one would blame you

Everyone would sigh and sympathize

For what you’ve been through

As a reason to let it in

Or count it as a ribbon in the race

That you’ve been running when you win

But if it’s love that you’re playing for bet it all

There’s no way to save your pride

Or leave a cushion for yourself should you fall

If it’s love that you’re playing for play to win

A heart is only broken when it loses the desire to try again

No one would blame you

Those who gather round would not look down

Although they’re seeing through

Be tomorrow’s point of view

Or you could let the feeling that you’re hoping for

Be what’s guiding you

So if it’s love that you’re playing for bet it all

There’s no way to save your pride

Or leave a cushion for yourself should you fall

If it’s love that you’re playing for play to win

A heart is only broken when it loses the desire to try again
