Borrowed Time

BoxMyHeart

I am not that beautiful

Or talented either

You say the light shines around me

But I can't see it neither 

 

I borrow my time, 

Of happiness in your divine

I sink into myself 

When I'm unhappy 

 

Im not this abitious woman

You tell me that I am

You say I can be anything I want

How do I know that I can?

 

I borrow my time, 

Of happiness in your divine

I sink into myself 

When I'm unhappy

 

The other person replies:-

 

I know you better than you've ever known yourself

You have be kind to yourself

Say the right words

I know the fights hard, 

and it hurts

You have to put yourself first

Do it for you...

 

I know the pain, ive seen it in your eyes

If I've seen it once, a thousand times

It hurts me too

 

Replies in brackets:-

 

I borrow my time, (don't borrow, buy)

Of happiness in your divine (take all of what's mine)

I sink into myself (look deeper now)

When I'm unhappy (I want you to be happy)

    I think a song with the melody built around your words would probably work .. Good luck

    Good write Box.
    You seem to be able to see both sides in this, summarised at the end.

    Yes this feels like a song in the making along with the right music - - a very good read.
