“Never Bit Me Yet”

Verse 1

I learned real young, keep your distance tight

Don’t let ‘em see you in the dead of night

No open doors, no cracks in the wall

Can’t break a man if he don’t feel at all

Don’t say too much, don’t show your hand

They don’t need to know where you stand

Keep it locked up, buried deep

What they don’t know, they can’t keep

⸻

Chorus

Don’t get close, don’t let ‘em in

No attachment, no loose ends

Never loved, never regret

That kinda pain ain’t found me yet

No commitment, no strings to tie

No one there when it all goes dry

Built these walls, no second guess

No, it’s never bit me yet… yeah right

⸻

Verse 2

They say you’re cold, say you’re alone

But I’ve seen hearts turn into stone

Watched ‘em break, watched ‘em fall

I just chose not to play at all

God made me just how I am

Quiet mind and a steady hand

No need to speak, no need to prove

I walk my line, I never lose

⸻

Chorus

Don’t get close, don’t let ‘em in

No attachment, no loose ends

Never loved, never regret

That kinda pain ain’t found me yet

No commitment, no strings to tie

No one there when it all goes dry

Built these walls, no second guess

No, it’s never bit me yet… yeah right

⸻

Verse 3 (Brutally Honest)

Yeah I broke my rules, let a few get close

Every damn time, I paid the most

Let my guard drop, thought maybe it’d change

Same old story, just a different name

Tried to trust once, tried to feel it out

Ended the same, left me full of doubt

Gave a piece up, watched it get wrecked

Every time I bent, I got cut to the neck

So I went back to what I know best

Lock it all down, keep it in my chest

’Cause every time I stepped off that line

I lost a piece I don’t get back with time

⸻

Bridge

Can’t tear apart what you can’t reach

Can’t betray what you don’t teach

No broken trust, no sleepless nights

No wrong turns, no lost fights

⸻

Final Chorus (Shifted)

Don’t get close, don’t let ‘em in

I’ve seen how that story ends

Tried it once, don’t forget

Yeah, it’s already bit me yet

No commitment, no strings to tie

No one there when it all goes dry

Built these walls out of regret

’Cause every time… it bit me yet… yeah right
