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
