[Verse 1] How many doors do I have to leave unlocked? How many honest words before you talk? I bring you coffee, I remember every scar Still you keep your heart behind a guarded bar [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what it costs Tell me where to start I could cross the distance If it gets me to your heart [Chorus] How much will it take for you to love me? How far do I go before you trust? I can give you every quiet part of me But I need to know if that's enough How much will it take for you to love me? Say the number, say it plain I would trade my pride for one true answer I just can't keep guessing through the rain [Verse 2] I learn the names of every fear you hide I leave a little room for you beside You smile, then turn away before it lands Like tenderness is slipping through your hands [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what it costs Tell me where to start I could lose the armor If you let me near your heart [Chorus] How much will it take for you to love me? How far do I go before you trust? I can give you every quiet part of me But I need to know if that's enough How much will it take for you to love me? Say the number, say it plain I would trade my pride for one true answer I just can't keep guessing through the rain [Bridge] Maybe love is not a locked room Maybe I can't earn the key Maybe all this reaching proves You have to choose to reach for me [Final Chorus] How much will it take for you to love me? No more circles, no disguise I have given you the truest part of me Now I need the truth behind your eyes How much will it take for you to love me? If the answer isn't us I will leave with all my heart intact Not because I don't love you—because I must [Outro] Tell me what it costs Tell me where to start Or let me go with all this love Still beating in my heart
