Borrowed Hearts

Verse 1

She showed up smiling in a Friday night crowd,

Laughing a little too hard, trying to drown it all out.

She held my hand like she’d been waiting for me,

But there was another man’s ghost in between.

Pre-Chorus

Every “I miss you” wasn’t mine to hear,

I was filling in for someone who disappeared.

Chorus

She wasn’t falling, she was breaking apart,

Looking for a shelter, not another heart.

I mistook her tears for forever somehow,

Thought she’d found her future, but she just needed now.

You can’t build a lifetime on somebody else’s scars.

She didn’t want my love… just a borrowed heart.

Verse 2

Morning coffee told a different truth,

Her eyes were somewhere I could never get to.

She thanked me kindly, packed up all her pain,

Left me standing in yesterday’s rain.

Bridge

Sometimes goodbye ain’t angry, it ain’t cold,

It’s two lonely people wanting different roads.

I hope she finds the peace she’s searching for,

Even if it ain’t behind my door.

Final Chorus

She wasn’t leaving ‘cause I wasn’t enough,

She just couldn’t carry the weight of love.

I learned the hard way what lonely can do,

It’ll make forever look like it’s true.

Now when the jukebox plays those old heartbreak songs,

I know some hearts are only passing on.

She didn’t break me… she just needed a light,

’Til she found her own way through the night.

Outro

Sometimes lonely wears the face of love…

Until the morning comes
