[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, shadows of my mind
Secrets that I guard, the stories I can't find
[Verse 1]
Step into the room, heart pounding like a drum
Laughing with my friends, but inside I'm numb
Every word I share, feels like it's on display
Forgotten who I am in this social ballet
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not just chatter, it's my unspoken hold
Boundaries I'll defend, if I stay or if I go
No shame in saying no, it's my right to choose
Respect my space, or I might just refuse
[Chorus]
I know you know that I've got secrets I won't tell
But setting boundaries is my way of saying well
It’s okay to back away, to say I need some space
Respect my silence, I won't bow to shame
[Verse 2]
Shared stories spreading like wildfire in the air
Trust is delicate, handle it with care
Holding on to moments, only for my own
When I say “don’t share,” I want that to be known
[Pre-Chorus]
Love isn’t about forcing, it’s consent in the air
My feelings aren’t lesser, I just need to beware
Saying no’s not a problem, it’s my own salvation
Respect my boundaries, it's my affirmation
[Chorus]
I know you know that I've got secrets I won't tell
But setting boundaries is my way of saying well
It’s okay to back away, to say I need some space
Respect my silence, I won't bow to shame
[Bridge]
Open conversations, trust can grow
But only where permission’s clear to show
Your kindness is a gift I want to keep
Boundaries protect the love we reap
[Outro]
So here’s my truth, wrapped in gentle grace
Respect my space, hold a sacred place
Not just words, but a bond that’s true
Respect my boundaries, I’ll respect you too
