Deniz Melodi - Borderline Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Between the Bosphorus lights and neon dreams
Dancing on the edge where nothing's what it seems
Mom and Dad debate identity all night
While I slip between the shadows, out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I East? Am I West? Baby, who can tell?
Playing roles like a game under their spell
One foot here, one foot there, walking on the wire
Caught between two worlds, dancing in the fire

[Chorus]
I'm borderline beautiful, borderline free
A little bit them, a little bit me
Spinning through cultures like silk in the wind
Breaking the rules that they've put me in
Borderline, borderline
Watch me shine, watch me shine

[Verse 2]
Memories of Istanbul, whispers in my head
Ancient walls tell stories that can't be said
Took my fractured pieces, made them gold
Now they're buying what I've always been told

[Bridge]
They want exotic, they want pure
But baby I'm the cure
For their simple-minded ways
I'll bend their gaze

[Chorus]
I'm borderline beautiful, borderline free
A little bit them, a little bit me
Spinning through cultures like silk in the wind
Breaking the rules that they've put me in
Borderline, borderline
Watch me shine, watch me shine

[Outro]
On the edge of everything
That's where I'll always be
Not lost but finally found
In my complexity
