Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Same old bar Corner booth, chipped red paint Your coat on the seat Like you just stepped away I trace your name On the ring my glass left Laugh at myself Then I take another breath [Pre-Chorus] Every song on the jukebox Sounds a little like you Different chords, different voices But the ache rings true [Chorus] I’ve been holding out my borrowed heart Waiting for somebody to wear these scars Need a shoulder that can take my weight When I fall apart, when I come in late If I give you what I’ve got left Will it tear you up or fit your chest? I don’t need somebody perfect I just need somebody To love this borrowed heart [Verse 2] Tried your street Half past two, headlights low Windows down Like the past might let go Your shadow moves In the glass of every store I keep thinking I see you Till my eyes get sore [Pre-Chorus] All my friends say I’m healing Guess I fake it okay But the nights keep repeating Like the same sad tape [Chorus] I’ve been holding out my borrowed heart Waiting for somebody to wear these scars Need a shoulder that can take my weight When I fall apart, when I come in late If I give you what I’ve got left Will it tear you up or fit your chest? I don’t need somebody perfect I just need somebody To love this borrowed heart [Bridge] Take these hands They still shake in the mornings Take these plans I keep cancelling on me I’ve been trying to outrun Every ghost in my blood But I’m tired of this running Tired of calling it love (oh) [Chorus] I’ve been holding out my borrowed heart Waiting for somebody to wear these scars Need a shoulder that can take my weight When I fall apart, when I come in late If I give you what I’ve got left Will it tear you up or fit your chest? I don’t need somebody perfect I just need somebody To love this borrowed heart To love this borrowed heart
