Something Borrowed
Lewis Capaldi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since she told me we were through
Been going hell for leather
'Cause there's fuck all else to do
And she stumbled through some problems
Said, "You're the only wrong in me"
But I've been missing something
Bring your body home to me
Am I wasting my time?
Oh, I'm tryna find any truth in between the lies
Am I wasting my time?
Replaying conversations runnin' 'round in my mind
Didn't wanna be a love let go
Barely getting by on my own
Guess I'll always be holding onto something borrowed
Didn't wanna shake myself away
Through long nights and the wasted days
Saying her name like something borrowed
I'm only getting older
Feeling sorry for myself
Been wondering who she's holding
It's playing havoc with my health
Am I wasting my time?
Oh, I'm tryna find any truth in between the lies
Am I wasting my time?
Replaying conversations runnin' 'round in my mind
Didn't wanna be a love let go
Barely getting by on my own
Guess I'll always be holding onto something borrowed
Didn't wanna shake myself away
Through long nights and the wasted days
Saying her name like something borrowed
Be tough with your love when I'm talking too much
Be tough with your love, you've got to sober me up
Be tough with your love when I'm talking too much
Be tough with your love, you've got to sober me up
Didn't wanna be a love let go
Barely getting by on my own (on my own)
Guess I'll always be holding onto something borrowed
Didn't wanna shake myself away
Through long nights and the wasted days
Saying her name like something borrowed
Oh
Oh, this kind of love
Like something borrowed
The song "Something Borrowed" by Lewis Capaldi is a lamentation about a lost love. The singer is struggling with the aftermath of a breakup as he tries to make sense of his situation. He is constantly replaying conversations in his mind and feeling sorry for himself. He is unable to move on as he continues to miss his former lover, and he wonders if he is wasting his time trying to find any truth between the lies that were told to him. The line "I've been missing something, bring your body home to me" emphasizes his longing for the physical presence of his ex-partner.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Didn't wanna be a love let go", indicating that the singer did not want to let go of the love that he had for his ex-partner. He feels lost and is barely getting by on his own. The phrase "something borrowed" is used as a metaphor for the love that he had with his ex-partner that he will always be holding onto, regardless of the outcome of the relationship. Overall, the song conveys a sense of heartbreak and desperation that anyone who has gone through a breakup can relate with.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been feelin' every second
I've been feeling every moment since the breakup
Since she told me we were through
Since she ended our relationship
Been going hell for leather
Been moving forward without hesitation
'Cause there's fuck all else to do
Because there is nothing else to occupy my time
And she stumbled through some problems
She struggled with some issues
Said, "You're the only wrong in me"
Blamed the problems on me
But I've been missing something
Still missing something important
Bring your body home to me
Wants her to come back to him
Am I wasting my time?
Is it pointless to continue feeling this way?
Oh, I'm tryna find any truth in between the lies
Trying to make sense of the situation
Replaying conversations runnin' 'round in my mind
Obsessing over past conversations and events
Didn't wanna be a love let go
Didn't want to end the relationship
Barely getting by on my own
Struggling to cope
Guess I'll always be holding onto something borrowed
Will always be missing something important
Didn't wanna shake myself away
Didn't want to let go of the relationship
Through long nights and the wasted days
Enduring sleepless nights and feeling hopeless during the day
Saying her name like something borrowed
Continuing to think about her
I'm only getting older
Getting older and still feeling the same
Feeling sorry for myself
Pitying himself
Been wondering who she's holding
Wondering who she's with now
It's playing havoc with my health
Negatively impacting his mental and physical health
Be tough with your love when I'm talking too much
Help me move on and stop dwelling on the past
Be tough with your love, you've got to sober me up
Be firm and help me face reality
Oh, this kind of love
This type of love hurts
Like something borrowed
Like something precious that is not truly theirs
