Lyrics
Buying Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've played the games, the masquerades
By the time the eleventh hour fades
You're bound to know that what i say is true
And i'm the one you're looking for
Every time you find that cheatin' door
I'll just keep pretending i never knew
Chorus:
But what are we in this for
When our hearts are on the line
And if a heart could brake
You're surely breaking mine
And if we fall to ruin
It wasn't my design
If i can have my way
There's no price i won't pay
To just keep buying time
I'll have to say i have my doubts
But i'll give all till i give out
And i'll do anything to make you stay
But this could be part of the plan
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
I'll have to let the cards fall where they may
Repeat chorus
