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.
I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I’m starting to believe it ain’t the whole truth
As we’re lying side by side, I get the whole you
I wanna hold out, but gotta hold on
Even though I know it’s wrong
Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed
Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her
The way you make love to me?
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
It's pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It’s a short hide and long low
Every time you have to go
Cause I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed
Only borrowed
How much time is left and you don’t return?
And you don’t return?
How much time?
Oh it’s no return, no return, how much time?
I know you’re not mine, only borrowed
And I don’t want to give you back
I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
No I don’t want to give you back
You’re the best I’ll never have
So I don’t want to give you back
But you’re borrowed, only borrowed
Cause you’re borrowed
