when i opened your letter yesterday
i could not believe my eyes
because i’ve already given all i have to give
and i think it must have slipped your mind
but i remember not so long ago
i gave it all it’s gone
and i gave it all to you
now i’m living on borrowed time but it’s mine
pre
oh d’you hear me
i cannot believe it’s true
are you really doing the things you do
no i cannot believe it’s you really you
oh these people i’m talking to don’t understand
they don’t seem to realize
they’re listening but they’re not hearing me
they’re being too cruel to be kind
any kind of feeling that i had is gone
because i gave it all it’s gone
and i gave it all to you
now i’m living on borrowed time but it’s mine
pre
oh d’you hear me
i cannot believe it’s true
are you really doing the things you do
no i cannot believe it’s you really you
over and over i keep on telling myself
over and over i hope i’m gonna make up
over and over i know it’s really happening
and there’s nothing that i can say
because nothing can change all the things that you’ve done to me
nothing can make me stay
oh because you know i cannot believe it’s true
are you really doing the things you do
no i cannot believe it’s you really you
i know it’s a crying shame it’s all the same to you
it seems all so well laid out but i cannot get through
never meant it to show
it started happening that’s all you know
oh i gave it all to you
now i’m living on borrowed time but it’s mine
