Living on Borrowed Love

You told me at the start

Someone else had held a place in your heart

And though you both had gone your separate ways

You hope to get him back someday

I told you I didn't care

I'd be happy for whatever time we shared

But I got caught up in a trap

Now I can't accept the fact

I'm living on borrowed love

You never belonged to me

Living on borrowed love

You're mine, temporarily

And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)

To ever give you up

But it's what I get

We're living on borrowed love

I thought that within time

Your love for him would die

And I could make you mine

Oh, but now I see that I was wrong

Your love for him is much too strong

My time with you is slipping fast

So I love you like each day is my last

What was the use in us pretending?

Ain't gonna be no happy ending

I'm living on borrowed love

You never belonged to me

Living on borrowed love

You're mine, temporarily

And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)

To ever give you up

But it's what I get

The day I feared the most has finally come

You're going back to him

Why'd I have to be the one

Living on borrowed love

He'll never belong to me

Living on borrowed love

You're mine, temporarily

And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)

To have to give you up

But it's what I get, baby

Living on borrowed love

Baby, living, living, living, living on borrowed love

You're mine, temporarily

It's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)

To have to give you up

But it's what I get
