Not every love glows some just flicker
We borrow light from what we lost quicker
Two shadows learning how to bend
Same story but a softer end
We dont talk loud anymore
We just sigh through half open doors
I count bills while she counts hours
Both chasing different powers
She thinks I dream too big
I think she fears the fall
Between her silence and my drive
There is still a pulse inside these walls
Were borrowing light from yesterdays flame
Holding each other through guilt and blame
Love dont shine it survives the night
Dim but steady borrowed light
She said youre somewhere else again
I said yeah inside my head
I promised change tomorrow
But tomorrow is in debt
Still she holds me when I twitch
Through seizures storms and faithless fits
Maybe thats what mercy means
Not peace but staying through the screams
Love aint gold its borrowed fire
Burns just long enough to inspire
If it dies tonight let it fade slow
We still glow in the afterglow
Were borrowing light from yesterdays flame
Holding each other through guilt and blame
Love dont shine it survives the fight
Dim but steady borrowed light
Maybe love aint bright just brave
And maybe brave is all we gave
