[Verse 1] Your car’s in the alley behind the Thai place Engine ticking like it’s cooling off a secret You’re laughing through the phone leaning on the hood I pretend you don’t say his name when I hear it There’s a crack in the sidewalk shaped like Nevada I trace it with my foot, don’t know why I always do You say You’re the one who really gets me I nod like that’s not a pistol ready to shoot [Pre-Chorus] I’ve learned how to listen without leaning in Learned how to smile like I’m not counting breaths You keep mistaking my patience for peace I keep mistaking this pain for depth [Chorus] I’m living in the borrowed light Of a love that’s never gonna look my way I hold the door I say goodnight I watch you give yourself away I’m the song you hum but never play The seat you save for someone else If wanting you's a crime I’m not innocent But I’m doing the time myself [Verse 2] You leave a sweater on the back of my chair Smells like your shampoo and bad decisions I don’t move it for days it feels like cheating On a future that never asked permission We drink cheap wine out of mismatched cups You talk about him like he’s just a phase I don’t interrupt I don’t correct you I just memorize the way your mouth says his name [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been the man with the cheshire grin The late-night ride, the emergency call I’m good at being what you need Just not the one you want at all [Chorus] I’m living in the borrowed light Of a love that’s never gonna look my way I hold the door I say goodnight I watch you walk away I’m the song you hum but never play The seat you save for someone else If wanting you's a crime I’m not innocent But I’m doing the time myself [Bridge] Maybe I should’ve left the first time you said Don’t wait up I’m not that girl But hope’s a quiet liar And I believed every word I try a speech in the shower Where I finally tell the truth Then I see your face in my mind And I forget what I was gonna do [Breakdown] I don’t hate him I don’t blame you I just wish my heart Had better taste in who [Chorus] Yeah, I’m living in the borrowed light Watching sunrise through your blinds I’m close enough to feel your heat Too far to cross the line I’m the hand you squeeze in the dark When you’re scared to be alone If loving you is a dead-end street I’ve been driving with the radio on [Outro] Your car pulls out the alley’s empty Street lamp flickers a lonely code I stand there with what I never said On the wrong side of the road On the wrong side of the road wrong side of the road wrong side of the road The wrong side of the road The wrong side of the road The wrong side of the road The wrong side of the... road [end]
