Braces the Fox - Borrowed Warmth

You’re breathing slow beside me Like you trust the dark Your arm across my waist Like you’re not scared to mark The space where I exist Like it’s not gonna move I lie still, wide awake Trying not to ruin you I don’t wanna need this So I call it something else I’m just borrowing your warmth I’ll give it back by morning I know how this goes I’ve learned not to get cozy I’m just borrowing your warmth Not asking for a name If I leave before you wake You don’t have to feel the same Your hoodie smells like soap and sleep I tuck my hands inside Pretend I’m just cold tonight Not terrified That if I let myself believe This could be enough I’ll wake up empty When you’ve had enough I don’t wanna be Another thing you outgrow I’m just borrowing your warmth Like it’s something I misplaced I won’t ask you where this is going I won’t slow your pace I’m just borrowing your warmth Till my hands stop shaking I’ll leave before it hurts Before you start staying If you pull me closer I might get confused If you say my name I might think it’s true So let’s lie here quiet Like this doesn’t mean Anything more than What it needs to be I’m just borrowing your warmth I know it’s not mine I’ll fold it up real careful Leave it behind I’m just borrowing your warmth I don’t wanna pretend That I don’t already miss you Before this even ends I’ll put it back I always do
