Borrowed Pieces

V6

[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
