[Verse 1]
He leaves his boots by the door
Like he still owns the floor
I count pills in the drawer
And the rain on the screen
Kid's backpack by my chair
Cold fries in the air
I say "I'll be there"
Even when I'm unseen
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned your moods like weather
I held us all together
I begged you, "stay, stay better"
You said, "soon"
[Chorus]
I wear your borrowed ring
I still believe in things
I keep on singing
Even when it stings
I want the love you swear
I want the man that's there
I'm mad, I'm sad, I'm smiling
'Cause I still care
[Verse 2]
You laugh when I say "hurt"
Turn my tears into dirt
Then I fold up your shirt
Like I don't feel the burn
I pack lunches at dawn
Keep the lights still on
Tell the little one, "hold strong"
While my own heart learns
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned your moods like weather
I held us all together
I begged you, "stay, stay better"
You said, "soon"
[Chorus]
I wear your borrowed ring
I still believe in things
I keep on singing
Even when it stings
I want the love you swear
I want the man that's there
I'm mad, I'm sad, I'm smiling
'Cause I still care
[Bridge]
One day I might walk
With my name on the door
One day I might stop
Waiting for "more"
But tonight I stay
'Cause hope is a hard thing
I hate what you do
I still love what love brings
[Final Chorus]
I wear your borrowed ring
I still believe in things
I keep on singing
Even when it stings
I want the love you swear
I want the man that's there
I'm mad, I'm sad, I'm smiling
'Cause I still care
I wear your borrowed ring
I won't keep begging things
If you won't change, then baby
I'll change what I bring
