Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up with a shaking hand

And a heart that had been through hell

My name on a hard white line

My truth in a broken cell

I lost a lot to the bottle

Lost days I can't get back

But something in the wreckage

Kept pulling me off that track

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I can see

What I couldn't see

All that pain

Was setting me free

I had to fall

To learn to stand

And hold my life

In my own hands

[Chorus]

I was borrowed from the dark

(borrowed from the dark)

Now I love life with my whole heart

(with my whole heart)

What broke me taught me how to live

What took from me taught me how to give

I was borrowed from the dark

(borrowed from the dark)

[Verse 2]

I don't glamorize the ashes

I don't miss that hungry need

I remember the cold mornings

And the shame that came with me

But I found a kinder rhythm

In the breath and the little things

A cup of clean water

And the way a new day sings

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I can see

What I couldn't see

All that hurt

Was history

I had to lose

What held me down

To hear my own

True voice now

[Chorus]

I was borrowed from the dark

(borrowed from the dark)

Now I love life with my whole heart

(with my whole heart)

What broke me taught me how to live

What took from me taught me how to give

I was borrowed from the dark

(borrowed from the dark)

[Bridge]

So if you see me smiling

Don't call it luck alone

It's the work of getting honest

It's the miracle of bone

I thank the nights I nearly lost me

I thank the hands that stayed

I thank the fire in the ruins

And the life I chose to save

[Final Chorus]

I was borrowed from the dark

(borrowed from the dark)

Now I love life with my whole heart

(with my whole heart)

What broke me taught me how to live

What took from me taught me how to give

I was borrowed from the dark

And I came back shining hard

(borrowed from the dark)
