I've heard misfortune's losses
And wasted ways before me buy the costs
Of giving someone time enough for spending
Love only borrowed
verse 2
I've placed myself at ease
Listening to the lies of self-belief
For wanting something close enough for keeping
A far cry from here
But I believe in ways and means
To speak another, dear, who has been spared
Innocence so near___
A far cry from here
verse 3
Even still the night is passing
Behind my heart an emptiness still follows
The distance damns the swallow hard for lending
Love only borrowed
verse 4
And some are sad___, but true to know
There's belonging in just longing for someone
My shoulder rests, a road I only follow
Love only borrowed
Oh, but I believe in ways and means
To speak another, dear, who has been spared
Innocence so near___
A far cry from here
Oh, but I believe in ways and means
To speak another, dear, who has been spared
Innocence so near___
A far cry from here
