I've been lied to and I've lied
I've been tied to and I've tied
I've been broken and I've broke

And shattered dreams before I awoke
And there have been centuries
When you meant more to me

But now you take the time you draw the line, hey hey

You say, believe me

This day, believe me
This time, this time


You come to my defense
But it makes no difference this time
Desire is my reward

But these are treasures I cannot afford this time

And I've traded greater things

Than the treasures of a thousand kings
And I've faded like the smoke
To find that love was an unbearable joke

And there have been memories
When you meant more to me
But now you take the time you draw the line, hey hey


You say, believe me
This day, believe me

This time, this time

You come to my defense

But it makes no difference this time
Desire is my reward
But these are treasures I cannot afford this time
