NYZA ORIGINALS
Borrowed
She's been gone three years but her coffee mug is still in his cabinet, and he won't move it. Every morning he reaches past it, choosing a different one, knowing that one day she'll walk through that door and ask for her favorite. He's not waiting—he's just not ready to admit she's not coming back.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I keep your coffee cup on the top shelf
Right where you left it, gathering dust
I could wash it, I could put it away
But the day I do, I'm done waiting for you
And I'm not done
Chorus
I'm holding onto borrowed time
Your ghost in every room
I'm holding onto borrowed light
In case you find your way back through
I know you're gone but my hands won't let go
I'm holding onto borrowed
Verse 2
Your number's still saved in my phone
I haven't called in a thousand days
But I scroll to your name when the nights get long
And pretend that I'm brave enough to dial
Chorus
I'm holding onto borrowed time
Your laugh in every song
I'm holding onto borrowed breath
Trying to stay this strong
I know you're gone but my heart won't move on
I'm holding onto borrowed
Bridge
Maybe I'm just afraid of the silence
Maybe letting go means you really left
Maybe home isn't a place anymore
It's a person I can't get back
Verse 3
So I'll keep your cup where it waits for you
And I'll keep your memory alive
Cause somewhere between the past and goodbye
I'm still yours, you're still mine
Outro
I'm holding onto borrowed
Just a little longer borrowed
