Borrowed Love

Verse 1

Once upon a time, I loved you

You were my stars, my moon, my sky

You swore our love would last forever

Said your love for me would never die

**Verse 2**

One lonely night, I saw the truth

In the arms of someone new

Kissing, laughing, holding close

Your eyes met mine too soon

Caught and trapped by your own design

**Pre-Chorus**

Fear and anger crossed your face

Pain like lightning in my chest

One tear fell, my heart gave way

I turned to leave what was never mine

**Chorus**

My heart wants to believe in you

I want the beautiful lie

But I remember her face, her eyes

Looking at you

Like you were her everything,

Her life

I can’t share, I can’t steal

A love that was never mine

What we had was only borrowed

Built on another’s broken dream

**Verse 3**

You chased me down, your voice was breaking

“She was nothing—don’t you see?”

“How can you throw away forever?”

But forever was never just for me

**Pre-Chorus**

Because I saw it in her eyes

The truth you couldn’t hide

You were her world, her light, her life

While I was standing on the side

**Chorus**

My heart wants to believe you

I want the beautiful lie

But love that lives on borrowed time

Always leaves someone behind

I can’t share, I can’t steal

What was built on someone’s pain

Your love was only borrowed

And I won’t wear those chains

**Bridge**

So I stitch my heart back together

With shaking hands, I learn to breathe

If love is meant to be forever

It won’t cost someone else their peace

**Final Chorus**

I must let you go now

I must finally be free

To find a love that’s honest

A love designed for me

No more borrowed promises

No more half‑true dreams

I’ll fly on my own

Discovering who I’m meant to be.
