Lyrics

Borrowed Time

I'm looking back on a time when I could say
I actually thought I cared about you
But after everything I've been put through

I realise that I've been living with false hope
It's drowning out my senses
I realise that I've been living with false hope
It's drowning out my thoughts

This has got oh so confusing
And I've only got myself to blame
I can't believe, oh what was I thinking?
I've only got myself to blame

You mean nothing to me
And you never fucking did
Oh, you mean nothing to me
And you never fucking did

I can't stand to listen to your excuses anymore
I can't stand to listen to your excuses anymore

Oh I can only pray that you feel so alone
And a guilty conscience hangs over your head
I can't believe, oh what was I thinking?
I've only got myself to blame in all of this

Maybe I'm the only one to blame
I've got nothing to depend on
Oh I've got nothing to depend on

I realise (realise) that I've been living with false hope (false hope)
It's drowning out my senses
It's drowning out my thoughts
I've got nothing to depend on

You mean nothing, nothing to me
You never fucking did
