[Verse 1]
Quiet plates in the sink
You slam a door
I don’t blink
All these words on the brink
Of turning into fire
You say you’re only “being tough”
Call it love
I call it rough
Every joke’s a little shove
Pushing me higher
Higher
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m counting breaths in the bathroom light
Tracing scars that are out of sight
You call my name like you own my spine
But this heart was never fully mine
[Chorus]
Love is not a parent attack
Not a raised voice
Hands held back
I’m not your mirror that cracks
Every time you feel small
Love is not the weight on my chest
Not the blame when you’re a mess
If this is all you have left
I’m taking it all
I’m taking it all
[Verse 2]
You say you “only want the best”
As you push me
Poke my chest
Every “should” is just a test
I never get to pass
You call it “patrol
” staying near
But you’re just planting fear
Checking doors
Checking my tears
Guarding your glass
Glass
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done tiptoeing round your rage
Shrinking small to fit your cage
You built a storm inside this house
I’m walking out
Walking out
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Beat drop
Heart stop
I flip the script
You lose your spot
You shout
I laugh
Tear your rulebook clean in half
Your love
Your law
Both are built on every flaw
Stand back
I breathe
You take and take
I finally leave
[Chorus]
