Pretty, Not Yours

Intro

Say less…

I already know.

Verse 1

You talk like I’m temporary placement

Like I’m just filling space in your basement

You say what you want, I don’t keep receipts

I just keep moving my feet

You love the chase, not the collision

I read the pattern, I see the revision

You play it cool like I’ll fall in line

But I’m not designed

Pre-Chorus

You say forever like it’s a phrase

Then disappear in a couple days

So I learned to live in the in-between

And not say what I mean

Chorus

I’m pretty, not yours—don’t get it confused

You don’t get access just ’cause you choose

I’m living loud in a life you visit

But never commit to

I’m good on my own, I don’t need your name

Don’t need your touch just to feel okay

You had your chance but you couldn’t keep it

So I don’t need it

Verse 2

You text like a ghost with a heartbeat

Only show up when it’s easy

Say you want more but you never decide

Just hovering by

You build me up just to feel important

Then leave me hanging in your distortion

But I don’t break where you thought I would

I outgrew misunderstood

Pre-Chorus 2

You say “I care” but it’s out of time

Like I’m just space in your borderline

So I let it go, let it fade to black

I don’t want it back

Chorus

I’m pretty, not yours—don’t get it confused

You don’t get access just ’cause you choose

I’m living loud in a life you visit

But never commit to

I’m good on my own, I don’t need your name

Don’t need your touch just to feel okay

You had your chance but you couldn’t keep it

So I don’t need it

Breakdown

Oh, you want me when it’s convenient timing

Late night texts with the same old lining

“Where you at?” like I’m still on standby

Wrong girl, wrong time

Cut it off—no hesitation

I’m not part of your rotation

Say my name when it fits your mood

Like I’m something you can use

I. DON’T. WAIT.

I’m not yours to pick up when you feel alone

Not a temporary fix on your phone

If I leave—don’t call me back

If I’m gone—I’m staying that

You don’t get the version you wasted

I leveled up while you played it basic

You had me—

now you don’t

Final Chorus

I’m pretty, not yours—never was to begin

You just liked the idea you were living in

Now I’m shining in places you’ll never reach

And it’s bittersweet

I’m good on my own, I don’t need your name

Turned your absence into my flame

You lost your chance and I don’t repeat it

I don’t need it

Outro

You almost had me…

almost.
