[Verse 1]
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 cheating 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 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

[Verse 2]
I'll have to say I have my doubts
But I'll give all 'til 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

[Chorus]
But what are we in this for when our hearts 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
