You use "lend" when you are the person GIVING someone something to use for some time. You use "borrow" when you are the person USING something that someone gave you to use for some time.
Examples
Me: "I will lend you my bike so that you can go to school on Friday."
You: "Thank you for letting me borrow your bike! I will give it back to you on Saturday."

The difference is who's doing what. If I lend something to you, then you are borrowing it from me. ex. I am lending you $5=You are borrowing $5 from me.
