life is yours to take
but time can get in the way
so maybe it would be fine
if only we had a little more time
for ourselves.
and maybe we'd pay for this
if a dream was the same as a wish.
but far and away things are the same
if you want to own and love it you've got to pay.
you were so transparent
but there you were...
well I'm a liar and a thief
I stole your faith to believe in me
when there's so much left to steal
don't take it away and make this all real.
minutes bend to hours
hours break to days
it makes it easy to find a reason to leave
when you've got to stay.
you were so transparent
but there you were...
well I'm a liar and a thief
I stole your faith to believe in me
when there's so much I can see
don't take that away
don't take it from me
If you need something to believe
then believe not to trust in me
because when the devil offers a trade
(even though) my soul will crumble
my hand will shake.
