It was just outside of Memphis
When she said to me
“I want to say I love you,
But you don’t have to love me”

When she woke next morning
She found that I was gone
The note I left explained to her
That I was moving on
I had to move on

I’ve been this way my whole life
Always on the run
But never running to
Always running from

Inside my head’s a raging storm
And I feel that I’m
In the eye of a hurricane
Living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed time

            And I want to say I love you
            I want to say I care
            I want to stay forever
            But I can’t be there

            I want to say I love you
            I want you to be mine
            But I feel that I am
            Living on borrowed time

            And I want to say I love you
            I want to say I care
            I want to stay forever
            But I can’t be there

            I want to say I love you
            I want you to be mine
            But I feel that I am
            Living on borrowed time

Sitting in a darkened bar
In San Antonio
When a voice said quietly
“I just want you to know…

“I’ve seen all of you demons
I’ve heard you in the night
Fighting just to stay alive
Until the morning light
Until the morning light

“I know you are afraid
You don’t want to be alone
But if you come with me
I will be your home

“And together we’ll be stronger
And I’ll hold on to you tight
And no longer will you be
Living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed time

            And I want to say I love you
            I want to say I care
            I want to stay forever
            But I can’t be there

            I want to say I love you
            I want you to be mine
            But I feel that I am
            Living on borrowed time
