Lyrics
Borrowed Love
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.
At every glance, you steal from me
I catch your eyes still offering
Ill-got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I vainly swear in my starved mind
To crave your look only one more time
And pray not to reap what we might sow
If borrowed love should start to grow
Borrowed love, not yours for givin'
Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Borrowed love, this road we're takin'
Towards one another is awful steep <correction in this line only>
Forgiveness for what passion wreaks
Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap
Its wages paid with misery
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
