Girlfriend on Loan C Original Song
At university, she chased the son of a wealthy family, while another male outsider quietly watched from the sidelines — even trying to play matchmaker. When the rich boy moved away, she drifted into the outsider’s life, acting like a girlfriend on loan.
She convinced the rich boy to return, and at the same time kept the outsider from finding love elsewhere. But her dream unraveled after betrayal and an affair. Broken and uncertain, she turned back to the outsider — only to find he had moved on.
“Girlfriend on Loan” is a bittersweet duet of love, longing, and truth told too late. With acoustic guitar, piano, and violin weaving through male and female vocals, the song captures the ache of temporary love and the strength of letting go.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Male (Narrator):
I walked that ring road on my own
Underneath a sky of endless grey
Saw you chasing fortune’s son
Hoping his world would make you stay
He had the money, he had the fun
You ran your race till it was won
And I just watched from far away.
Chorus 1
Female (Girlfriend on loan):
Oh, I was your girlfriend on loan
A heart you could never call your own
I’d come close, then pull away
Everything was only temporary, I’d say
I was a chapter, a bittersweet rhyme
Just passing through for a short time
Yeah, I was always your girlfriend on loan.
Verse 2
Female (Girlfriend on loan):
Then fortune’s son was gone, I felt the blame
We found our peace in the falling rain
Drove across the great divide
With your morning smile by my side
[Male vocal]
I met your family, I saw your place
[Female vocal]
I almost thought we’d won the race
But I was just biding time.
Chorus 2
Female (Girlfriend on loan):
Oh, I was your girlfriend on loan
A heart you could never call your own
I’d come close, then pull away
Everything was only temporary, I’d say
I was a chapter, a bittersweet rhyme
Just passing through for a short time
Yeah, I was always your girlfriend on loan.
Bridge
Female:
At the mall ‘fore Christmas lights
I told the truth on that cold night
Said, “You’re second best — you understand?
He’s still the catch, you’re just a good man.”
Male (Narrator):
The silence in that car was deafening, deep
A promise you knew you couldn’t keep.
Both (soft, together):
A promise… we couldn’t keep.
Final Chorus
Male (Narrator):
Oh, you were my girlfriend on loan
Female (echo/harmony):
On loan… never your own
Male (Narrator):
You came back when he said goodbye
Female (Girlfriend on loan):
With a new teardrop in my eye
Male (Narrator):
But my new love stood there strong
Female (echo as “new love”):
She said, “You don’t belong, move along.”
Both (soaring):
Yeah, I am always your girlfriend on loan.
Outro
Male (Narrator):
I heard you crashed and lost it all
I heard your name begin to fall
I walk that ring road on my own…
But now I’m finally going home.
Male (Narrator):
The lease ran out on that girlfriend on loan.
Both (fading):
The lease ran out… and I’m finally home.
