Borrowed Time

Open mouths don't get fed round here

But it's not your fault

I don't blame you dear

Came to terms with myself this this year

I'm showing all my cards

Exposing all my fears

Was loving me that hard?

Baby?

Was love me that hard?

Not in the end, but from the start?

Yea, from the very start

Can we come to terms with this baby?

Listen!

It's been a long time coming

Finally seeing myself yes

It's been a long time coming

I see through you and your mess

We're both so weak, but temptation was strong

Strong enough to break a home,

But now we're just holding on

We're just holding on

And we need to get along for these babies

Listen!

Girl I'll testify

That I tried

To change you to

Someone else I knew

Someone from past baby,

Then I realized

You never tried

You never changed

So I pretended we were fine.

And just borrowed time

Yeah, now

Open mouths don't get fed around here, fed round here

But it's not your fault, have mercy

You not in the clear, you not in the clear no

Silence is a fight that you can hear, sound of my tears

And it was quiet in that house

We were talking through tears

Was loving you that hard?

Baby was loving you was that hard?

Yes, right to the end and from the start

But I loved you anyway,

I loved you anyway baby yes

It's been a long time coming

Finally seeing myself

It's been a long time coming

I see through you and your mess

We're both so weak, but temptation was strong

Strong enough to break a home yea,

But now we're just holding on

We're just holding on, we're just holding on listen

Girl I'll testify

That I tried

To change you to

Someone else I knew

Someone from past baby,

Then I realized, you never tried, you never changed

So I pretended we were fine baby

And just borrowed time

Oooh lawd lawd lawd lawd, to the way we were

Ooh good God, good God good God good God

Give me strength, give me strength to carry this

Oh sometimes, sometimes you got to wonder

Hey, are you in your own way

Sometimes you go, sometimes you stay but

Borrowed time, listen borrowed time comes with interest

You better believe it do and it always collects, always collect

Listen, I didn't love you like you needed to be loved baby

But you don't know how much pain I was in

I didn't love myself enough to love you better baby

Ohh drowning in my own skin yea

Borrowing time, borrowing time, time, oh time oh yea

You don't understand no no no no no oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yea

Baby naw naw naw naw naw, lawd have mercy
