"Try my best to buy us time

And you didn't even notice it

No you never notice it

Hard to figure out my kind

When I'm focusing

On you close to me"


the clock is ticking, our time is running up

i've stalled for as long as i can,

the vision of us is no more.

we knew from the start how this would end

we both agreed that we'd play pretend

make believe that one day we would be

it was never you

and it was never me

there was no "we"

don't you see?


when the clock strikes 12

this fairytale ends

but there is no glass slipper

there is no fairy godmother

and there is no happily ever after

....there's nothing

you will go your way

and i will go mine

i just hope you believe me when i say

i tried my best to buy us time.
