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 heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
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 fallwhere they may

Chorus:
But what are we in this for
When our heart are on the line
And if a heart could break
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...
