Buying Time
Heart's Gamble: Clint Black's Poetic Quest for Love
Lyrics
I've played the games, the masquerades
I've engaged in various activities and pretended to be someone I'm not
By the time the eleventh hour fades
As the critical moment approaches
You're bound to know that what I say is true
You will eventually realize the truth in what I'm saying
And I'm the one you're looking for
I am the person you seek
Every time you find that cheatin' door
Whenever you encounter dishonesty or betrayal
I'll just keep pretending I never knew
I will act as if I am oblivious to it
But what are we in this for
Questioning the purpose of our relationship
When our hearts are on the line?
When our emotions are at stake
And if a heart could brake
If hearts could break
You're surely breaking mine
Your actions are causing significant emotional pain
And if we fall to ruin
If we experience a downfall
It wasn't my design
It was not part of my intention or plan
But if I can have my way
If I have control over the situation
There's no price I won't pay
I am willing to make any sacrifice
To just keep buying time
To continue prolonging the situation or relationship
I'll have to say, I have my doubts
Expressing uncertainty or skepticism
But I'll give all till I give out
I will give my all until I am exhausted
And I'll do anything to make you stay
Willing to do anything to make the relationship endure
But this could be part of the plan
This may be part of a larger plan or fate
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
Suggesting that our circumstances may be unfavorable
But I'll have to let the cards fall where they may
Accepting the outcome, whatever it may be
But what are we in this for
Reflecting on the purpose of the relationship
When our hearts are on the line?
When our emotions are deeply involved
And if a heart could brake
If hearts could break
You're surely breaking mine
Your actions are causing significant emotional pain
And if we fall to ruin
If we experience a downfall
It wasn't my design
It was not part of my intention or plan
But if I can have my way
If I have control over the situation
There's no price I won't pay
I am willing to make any sacrifice
To just keep buying time
To continue prolonging the situation or relationship
