Borrowed Pieces

[Verse 1: Female]
I gave my Mondays to the planning room
My Sundays to a friend who needed proof
I learned the shape of everybody’s ache
Then lost the little things I used to make

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Tell me, when did my own yes turn quiet?
When did I stop asking what I wanted?

[Chorus: Female and Male]
I’ve been everywhere for everyone
Now I can’t name where I began
If I put these borrowed pieces down
Will I hear my own heart out again?
I don’t need to be all things tonight
I just need one true thing to find

[Verse 2: Male Rap]
Tabs open, deadlines, names in a row
I say “I got you” before I say no
I took every hand till my hands were full
Built ten little lives, let my own go dull
What did I like before useful was praise?
What made me grin on an unmarked day?
I’m sorting the noise from the things I chose
One honest answer, then room to grow

[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Tell me, when did my own yes turn quiet?
I’m done with calling empty “being wanted”

[Chorus: Female and Male]
I’ve been everywhere for everyone
Now I can’t name where I began
If I put these borrowed pieces down
Will I hear my own heart out again?
I don’t need to be all things tonight
I just need one true thing to find

[Bridge: Female]
Maybe it’s the page I never showed
The old song I hum when I’m alone
Maybe it’s a walk with nowhere due
A little space that answers back “you”

[Final Chorus: Female and Male]
I’ve been everywhere for everyone
But I can choose where I begin
Set these borrowed pieces on the ground
Make a little room to let me in
I don’t need to be all things tonight
I can take my time and find what’s mine
[Ad-libs]
What’s mine, what’s mine
I’m still here, I’m still here
