Borrowed Time Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn, Jack Murphy, Ivan Menchell

Death Note: The Musical

0

[Misa: Verse 1]
You can tie me up and you can hold me down and
You can ask me questions and try to turn me round and
Take me to the edge and push me off a ledge and
You can do most anything you want to do to me now

But you will never change my mind
No, no, no!

[Chorus]
So tie me up and try to break me
You will never change my mind
I'd rather die then let you make me betray him
The years roll on with or without me
I'm already gone cause I'm living on borrowed time

[Verse 2]
You can try to trick me into what you're seekin'
Give me drugs and make me start to crack and weaken
You can tell me lies and you can blind my eyes and
You can do your best to do you worst and get in my head

But I will hold on longer than you
No, no, no!

[Chorus]
So you can tie me up and try to break me
You will never change my heart
I'd rather die than let you make me betray him!
The years roll on with or without me
I'm already gone cause I'm living on borrowed time

[Bridge]
I'm cheating death with every breath
And every song and every sigh
With every day that I don't die
Is borrowed time!

[Chorus]
So tie me up and try to break me
You will never change my heart
I'd rather die than let you make me betray him!
The years roll on with or without me
I'm already gone cause I'm living
Oh yes, I'm living
On borrowed time!
