[Verse 1]
When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe in my eyes
'Cause I've already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not too long ago
I gave it all, it's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time
But it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
[Chorus]
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No, I cannot believe it's you, really you
[Verse 2]
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
Cause I gave it all, it's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time
But it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
[Chorus]
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it's you, really you
[Bridge]
Over and over, I keep on telling myself
Over and over, I hope I'm gonna wake up
Over and over, I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cause nothing can change
All the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause 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
[Bridge]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time
But it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
[Chorus]
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it's you, really you
[Bridge]
Over and over, I keep on telling myself
Over and over, I hope I'm gonna wake up
But over and over, I know it's really happening
But 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
[Outro]
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
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah…)
