[Intro] The voices downstairs lose their words, a murmur through the boards. The room arrives in pieces— then you. [Verse 1] Your eyes are open, looking through the place where I begin. You've tucked your hands beneath your knees to keep them still. I don't reach for you yet. My hands lie open in my lap. I sit here without needing a single word from you. [Chorus] Come closer now, you don't have to be strong. I'm only borrowed arms you lean upon. I'm not the life you're meant to live, just the warmth you let me give. For now— rest here, in borrowed arms. [Verse 2] You whisper sorry to my sleeve for needing someone here. The light is fading on my hands, softening their shape. You draw a breath to tell me, then let it out instead. I keep my arm around you. You let yourself be held. [Chorus] Come closer now, you don't have to be strong. I'm only borrowed arms you lean upon. I'm not the life you're meant to live, just the warmth you let me give. For now— rest here, in borrowed arms. In borrowed arms… [Bridge] Was I someone you used to know before you learned to sleep alone? I can't remember who I was— only why I'm here. Maybe I'm what you made when no one came. [Final Chorus] Come closer now, you don't have to be strong. I'm only borrowed arms you lean upon. I'm not the life you're meant to live, just the warmth you let me give. For now— rest here, in borrowed arms. [Outro] Just for now— in borrowed arms…
