Borrowed Hearts

[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
