Lyrics
Borrowed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't tell me it's alright
Cause you and i know
How this thing goes
We're living on borrowed time
I never wanted more
Than i could fit through my busy door
I never heard the footsteps from behind
I never had a clue
I never knew just what i should do
I never heard the voices in my mind
Think of all the things i couldn't say
All the dreams that slipped away
To the hands of idle time
And will these shoulders bear the weight
Or land me in the lonely arms of fate
We're living, we're living on borrowed time
Question go unanswered
And stories go untold
The reasons for leaving arrive
