Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Friday nights, hidden calls, whispered names
In shadows, meeting where no one knows our game
He's wearin' a ring, but I'm wearin' my pride
And it's getting harder to push these feelings aside
(Pre-Chorus)
I never thought I'd be this woman
But the heart don't follow rules
Lovin' him's like stolen moments
Breakin' hearts, we're breakin' fools
(Chorus)
Livin' on borrowed time, stealing moments we can't own
Lovin' a man whose heart ain't free, in this bed alone
I tell myself he'll leave someday, knowing that's a lie
I'm just the other woman, lovin' on borrowed time
(Verse 2)
Lipstick stains, fading perfume in his truck
Riskin' everything for love that won't add up
Midnight promises, whispers in the dark
Knowin' deep inside I'll end up with a broken heart
(Pre-Chorus)
I didn't plan this kind of life
But the heart can be blind
Every kiss feels like the last
Holding tighter each time
(Chorus)
Livin' on borrowed time, stealing moments we can't own
Lovin' a man whose heart ain't free, in this bed alone
I tell myself he'll leave someday, knowing that's a lie
I'm just the other woman, lovin' on borrowed time
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I'll find strength to walk away
But tonight his touch makes me stay
I'll bear the blame, wear the shame
This love's a dangerous game
(Chorus)
Livin' on borrowed time, stealing moments we can't own
Lovin' a man whose heart ain't free, in this bed alone
I tell myself he'll leave someday, knowing that's a lie
I'm just the other woman, lovin' on borrowed time
(Outro)
I'm just the other woman, stuck on borrowed time
Lovin' him tonight, knowin' he'll never be mine
