Borrowed Years

[Verse 1]
I still fold your shirts by hand
Line them up just right
I know the way you like your tea
Two spoons, no light

You gave me the coat off your back
When I had none
Now I wear your name like a debt
I can't outrun

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to speak
But the words turn thin
Every room we share
Feels too small for the dream I'm in

[Chorus]
I owe you so much
I owe you so much
But my heart's somewhere else

I hold on tight
I hold on tight
Still I can't be myself

[Verse 2]
You ask where I've been all day
I say "running late"
Truth is, I've been standing still
Behind the gate

You built a life with both your hands
I let it in
Now I'm scared of being the reason
It falls again

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to stay
Like a promise kept
But the future calls my name
In the dark, in the back of my chest

[Chorus]
I owe you so much
I owe you so much
But my heart's somewhere else

I hold on tight
I hold on tight
Still I can't be myself

[Bridge]
If I leave, it's not because
You weren't enough
It's 'cause I keep hearing my own life
Calling out from far enough

And I hate that love can hurt
When it means goodbye
I can care for you forever
And still need to try

[Final Chorus]
I owe you so much
I owe you so much
But my heart's somewhere else

I hold on tight
I hold on tight
Still I can't be myself

I owe you so much
I owe you so much
And I hate that it's true

I hold on tight
I hold on tight
But I'm drifting from you
