Not Yours To Break

[Verse 1]
(Female)
You wore my trust like new cologne
Said my name like it was yours to own
Swore the past was buried
Turned to stone
But you were digging up ghosts in your phone
[Verse 2]
(Male)
I tasted truth on every lie you spoke
Soft hands hiding all the hearts you broke
You cried first
So I thought you choked
Funny how the guilty cast the smoke
[Chorus]
(Both)
This heart was not yours to break
You held what you could not take
You played love like it was a game
Now karma’s coming back in your name
Your name
(Female)
You don’t get to call this pain
(Male)
You don’t get to wear my shame
(Both)
I’m stitching every tear you made
On a heart that was not yours to break
[Verse 3]
(Female)
You kissed my forehead
Said “I swear”
While her perfume still hung in the air
You turned our bed into a folding chair
Easy to pack when you don’t really care
[Pre-Chorus]
(Male)
I won’t go chasing the echo of us
(Female)
Done offering gold for your paper trust
(Male)
Let every lie you told trace you home
(Female)
May every secret cut your phone
[Chorus]
(Both)
This heart was not yours to break
You held what you could not take
You played love like it was a game
Now karma’s coming back in your name
Your name
(Female)
You don’t get to call this pain
(Male)
You don’t get to wear my shame
(Both)
I’m stitching every tear you made
On a heart that was not yours to break
[Bridge]
(Female, soft)
I’m pulling your memory from my sleeve
Unlearning the story you wrote of me
(Male, underneath)
Let the truth hit hard
Let it rearrange
Every face you fooled
Every borrowed name
[Chorus]
(Both)
This heart was not yours to break
I’m done giving what you just take
You played love like it was a game
Now karma’s carving you out of my veins
My veins
(Female)
You don’t get to call this pain (no more)
(Male)
You don’t get to wear my shame (let it pour)
(Both)
I’m mending what you tried to waste
On a heart that was not yours to break
[Outro]
(Female)
Not yours
(Male)
Not yours to break
(Both, harmony)
I’m whole again
On a heart that was not yours to break (oh yeah)

Moody R&B duet with male and female vocals trading intimate lines over warm electric piano and deep, soft bass. Verses stay sparse with close-mic harmonies and finger-snap groove; chorus blooms into stacked call-and-response vocals and airy pads. Bridge strips back to almost a cappella before the final chorus returns bigger, with ad-lib runs and subtle guitar swells., romantic
