Loving on Borrowed Time
Jones And Leva Lyrics

Open mouths don’t get fed round here
You won't receive anything if you don't ask for it.

But it’s not your fault and I don’t blame you dear
You are not responsible for the way things turned out, and I don't hold it against you.

Came to terms with myself this year
I have accepted some hard truths about myself recently.

I’m showing all my cards, exposing all my fears
I am being vulnerable and open about my emotions and insecurities.

Was loving me that hard Baby, was love me that hard Not in the end, but from the start Yea, from the very start
Loving me was difficult, and you struggled with it from the beginning, not just in the end.

Can we come to terms with this baby Listen
Can we both accept the reality of our situation, please?

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
It has taken a while, but I am starting to understand myself better. And I also see through your facade and the problems you created.

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
We both gave into temptation and it caused the end of our relationship. But now we are holding on for our children's sake.

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
I tried to make you into someone you weren't, based on past relationships. But I realized that you never changed, so I pretended everything was fine and we were just living on borrowed time.

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
You are not blameless in this, and even though we're not fighting, the tension is palpable. There are tears and heartbreak in our home.

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
Loving you was difficult, but I loved you through the challenges, from the beginning to the very end.

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
I need the strength to keep going through this difficult time. Sometimes you have to ask if you're the one causing your own problems. Sometimes you leave, sometimes you stay, but either way, borrowed time will catch up with you. I didn't love you the way you deserved because I was in a lot of pain and didn't love myself enough. I feel like I'm trapped and struggling to get through it. You don't understand what I'm going through, and it's hard to deal with.
