Buried The Lead

They said they couldn't save me Not using modern technology Said it would take a miracle Then the perfect donor showed You buried the lead when you first met me & said your courage was nothing So I couldn't believe When you said you weren't afraid Said you could handle the pain You buried the lead when you first met me & said your courage was nothing So I couldn't believe When you said you weren't afraid Said you could handle the pain They said it would kill you But you said it wouldn't last The sentiment was familiar Like it would work But you were left lifeless Suddenly felt I knew you Like it was something from the past Like a dream is peculiar With scenes all blurred through old glass You buried the lead when you first met me & said your courage was nothing So I couldn't believe When you said you weren't afraid Said you could handle the pain You buried the lead when you first met me & said your courage was nothing So I couldn't believe When you said you weren't afraid Said you could handle the pain Suddenly felt I knew you Like it was something from the past Like a dream is peculiar With scenes all blurred through old glass You didn't tell me you're from the future You didn't tell me I'm going back You didn't tell me you're from the future You didn't tell me about that How many times have I given me another chance? How many times until I say "Alright, this must end"? You didn't tell me you're from the future You didn't tell me I'm going back You didn't tell me I'm from the future You didn't tell me you're going back You buried the lead when you first met me You already knew we'd pull through You buried the lead when you first met me You already knew it for sure When you said you weren't afraid Said that you could handle all the pain You buried the lead when you first met me & said your courage was nothing So I couldn't believe When you said you weren't afraid Said that you could handle all the pain You already knew it for sure
