Borrowed Home Lyrics

I know you're gonna break it
You're gonna break it clean
This frame never could take
A season so cruel and mean
I can't be who I want to be
These walls aren't mine

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

Too deep into the passage
Of love so overgrown
And now forever I'm cast
As heavy as sinking stone
I can't rise when I want to rise
In this bed I sleep with ghosts

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

The windows open and the truth closes in
What a sweet beginning to the bitter end

I can't live where I want to live
If I can't find my way home

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

I'm home
Borrowed home
Yeah, I'm home

don.t worry bout a thing in dg languge

I know you're gonna break it
You're gonna break it clean
This frame never could take
A season so cruel and mean
I can't be who I want to be
These walls aren't mine

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

Too deep into the passage
Of love so overgrown
And now forever I'm cast
As heavy as sinking stone
I can't rise when I want to rise
In this bed I sleep with ghosts

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

The windows open and the truth closes in
What a sweet beginning to the bitter end

I can't live where I want to live
If I can't find my way home

Nobody else can make me right
Nobody else can feel this wrong
And in one moment I am light
Another dead as night
I should have known I'd never own
This borrowed home

I'm home
Borrowed home
Yeah, I'm home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
