Borrowed Time Lyrics by Amateur Eyes

i

2015

[Verse 1]
I bought every lie that I could afford
If I was desperate I'd steal a few more
Was lost in the woods
Mocked by the trees
But you cut them down and
Paved me a street
[Chorus]
I'm gonna live my life on borrowed time
I'll do it with the strength that isn't mine
And even if the right word doesn't rhyme
I'll use it
I'll do my best to learn from my mistakes
I'll never give advice that I can't take
And even if the ground beneath me shakes
I'll get there
[Verse 2]
I gave it my best
All that I had
But sometimes your hardest
Is still pretty bad
But that doesn't mean
I'm gonna stop
Or give it my all cause
It's all that I've got
[Chorus]
I'm gonna live my life on borrowed time
I'll do it with the strength that isn't mine
And even if the right word doesn't rhyme
I'll use it
I'll do my best to learn from my mistakes
I'll never give advice that I can't take
And even if the ground beneath me shakes
I'll get there
I'm gonna live my life on borrowed time
I'll do it with the strength that isn't mine
And even if the right word doesn't rhyme
I'll use it
I'll do my best to learn from my mistakes
I'll never give advice that I can't take
And even if the ground beneath me shakes
I'll get there
Even if the ground beneath me shakes
I'll get there
