Borrower of Love

Verse 1

Morning finds me counting every crack in the wall

She says darling you're enough but I hear a lie

I keep a list of every time I let somebody fall

Wonder if she'd run if she saw what's inside

Pre-Chorus

Fingertips against my chest

She gives me all her tenderness

And I just want to hold it less

Chorus

I don't deserve her gentle hands

I don't deserve the quiet plans

She keeps giving I keep taking what I can't repay

I don't deserve the morning light

She keeps staying through the night

And I'm still waiting for the day she walks away

Post-Chorus

She walks away

She walks away

Verse 2

Her mother asked me what my intentions were

I fumbled with the words and stared at my shoes

She looks at me like I'm a good thing to prefer

But I'm a borrower of a love I can't use

Pre-Chorus

She hangs my jacket by the door

She believes me when I'm unsure

And it just makes me want her more

Chorus

I don't deserve her gentle hands

I don't deserve the quiet plans

She keeps giving I keep taking what I can't repay

I don't deserve the morning light

She keeps staying through the night

And I'm still waiting for the day she walks away

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll learn to take it in

Maybe someday I'll let the good begin

But right now I'm just a shadow in her glow

Learning how to let somebody love me slow

Chorus

I don't deserve her gentle hands

I don't deserve the quiet plans

She keeps giving I keep taking what I can't repay

I don't deserve the morning light

She keeps staying through the night

And I'm still waiting for the day she walks away

Post-Chorus

She walks away

She walks away

She walks away
