you borrowed my copy of infinite jest - you dogearred page 3
i showed you alt-j, you said they're ok now dissolve me
you borrowed my t-shirt and cut the sleeves - i guess it's alright
you shook all my snow globes and walked away - i'll just watch them settle while you take the night
you borrowed my car and drove to the border - you picked up some smokes just for you
you borrowed my house to throw a big party, i guess i'll clean up after you
i showed you my room, and you stayed the night, i barely got any covers
i showed you my wounds, you say that you're sorry but that i'm just too messed up for you
you borrowed my summer and added some rain - the frosted window panes keep me locked tight
you borrowed my eyes 'cuz yours were to tired - yet i can't recall when i slept through the night
i showed you my stomach you said i could afford to lose a few - i didn't eat for a week
i showed you my dreams, you said aim lower you said i'm the best you got, you've hit your peak
you borrowed my body, now here i lay forfeit - while you borrow somebody else's
you borrowed my life, and never gave it back - but i don't want to be selfish
i showed you the lines you left on me, you said "honey, it's all in your head"
i showed you my silence, you said "i'll eat you whole, i love you so"
we climbed right into bed
