Halsey Borrowing

You're probably sitting at a bar

Fingers loosely cradling a glass

I'm miles from where you are

I can't remember when I saw you last

 

We both have so-called responsibilities

And others to answer to tomorrow

But, right now, I'm begging you to be my safety

The kind of love I can't return

But I'm going to borrow

 

Your eyes meet mine

The lights are playing shadows right down to your collar

Your love is calling

I'm praying you'll do anything to stall her

 

I'm sorry, darling

I know he's yours

I know you make him breakfast

And fit between his arms

 

In turn of borrowing a perfect man

I'm borrowing a broken love

 

I'm sorry, darling

I know he's yours

I know you wear his class ring

And I don't mean you any harm

 

In turn of borrowing a perfect man

I'm borrowing a broken love

 

Your laughing offers some honest conversation

Catch me in the cracks between your crooked smile

Your words are more like illustrations

Toss your head back

But I know you'll stay awhile

 

Your eyes meet mine

The lights are playing shadows right down to your collar

 

In turn of borrowing a perfect man

I'm borrowing a broken love

 

Your love is calling

I'm praying you'll do anything to stall her

 

In turn of borrowing a perfect man

I'm borrowing a broken love

 

Tell me, how can a heavy heart be so empty?

You left all your baggage on my step

When you went and left me

 

I'm sorry, darling

I know he's yours

I know you make him breakfast

And fit between his arms

 

In turn of borrowing my perfect man

I'm borrowing your broken love

 

I'm sorry, darling

I know he's yours

I know you keep him close

And I don't mean you any harm

 

In turn of borrowing a perfect man

I'm borrowing a broken love
