Borrowed Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've turned my back on him, now it's you that makes me smile
But in your arms, I'm restless like I'm leaving in awhile
I lit the match and burned my bridges, you were mine
Now I got this feeling you'll be the next in line

[Chorus]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time

[Verse 2]
My old love's broken pieces and I ain't met the new
You're here in the middle hanging on until I do
Cause I'm a train that stops at every station down the line
You're a fool so desperate that you'll ride on borrowed time

[Chorus]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time

[Outro]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
