HALSEY

48. BORROWING

(A song she wrote as Ashley Frangipane)

You're probably sitting at a bar, fingers loosely cradling a glass

I'm miles from where you are 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 gonna 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 yoursI know you make him breakfast and fit between his arms

Tonight I'm borrowing a perfect man, I'm borrowing your 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

Tonight I'm borrowing your perfect man, I'm borrowing your brokenlove

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

You laugh and offer 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

Tonight I'm borrowing a broken man, I'm borrowing a perfect love

Your love is calling I'm praying you'll do anything to stall her

Tonight I'm borrowing a broken man, I'm borrowing your perfect love

Tell me how can a heavy heart beat so empty

You left all your baggage on my steps 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

Tonight I'm borrowing a perfect man, I'm borrowing your broken love

I'm sorry darling I know he's yoursI know you keep him close and I don't mean you any harm

Tonight I'm borrowing a perfect man, I'm borrowing a broken love
