[Verse 1]
You call me “brother”
But you love what I give
Smile at my table
Talk ’bout how I live
Hands on my shoulder
Eyes on my plate
You toast to my future
But you drink to my fate
[Chorus]
I’m done surrendering love
To mouths that just take and disappear
To “friend” and “family”
Who choose me last
But keep me near
I see what’s going on now
Every move
Every string you pull
Heart still open
But my eyes are wide
I can care and still
Won’t be fooled
[Verse 2]
You say you’re “worried”
But you’re scrolling my scars
Turning my stories
Into talk at the bar
You text “I’m praying”
While you sharpen my name
Soft little daggers
Wrapped up in my shame
[Chorus]
I’m done surrendering love
To mouths that just take and disappear
To “friend” and “family”
Who choose me last
But keep me near
I see what’s going on now
Every move
Every string you pull
Heart still open
But my eyes are wide
I can care and still
Won’t be fooled
[Bridge]
I can walk away calm (yeah)
Leave the door unlocked
Wish you all the best
But you don’t own my trust
You can keep your version
I’ll keep my truth
I’m not your victim
I’m my own proof (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m done surrendering love
To mouths that just take and disappear
To “friend” and “family”
Who choose me last
But keep me near
I see what’s going on now
Every move
Every string you pull
Heart still open
But my eyes are wide
I can care and still
Won’t be fooled
