Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to say yes
Even when my chest said run
Gave away my quiet
To feel like I was loved by someone
Every red flag
I painted it a softer shade
Till I was burnt out empty
Staring at the mess I made
[Pre-Chorus]
But every scar on my skin
Reads like a little truth I keep
Taught me where I end
And where the world begins
[Chorus]
I’m grateful for what I’ve been through
It broke me down
Then it broke me free
Now I’m drawing lines in bright blue
Between your heart and the heart in me
I’m learning how to let me be
Yeah
I finally see
Boundaries is the key
Boundaries is the key
[Verse 2]
Now I leave my phone
Face-down on the kitchen table
Don’t jump when it rings
Answer only when I’m able
I can love you strong
And still save a little light for me
If you push too hard
You’ll meet that brand-new side of me
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause every time I said “yes”
When my spirit whispered “please”
I was walking past myself
Now I’m turning back to me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I’m not your cure
I’m not your crutch
I can care for you
Without carrying that much
[building] I’m not your mirror
To fix how you see
I’m finally standing
Right here as just me (just me)
[Chorus]
