[Verse 1]
Keys on the table
Name on the lease
Whole world telling me
"Play nice
Keep the peace"
Blood on the paystub
Time on the line
They take and they take
Call it "doing just fine"
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my hours
You called it a favor
But this beating heart
Is not on your waiver
[Chorus]
I’m not your not-alone owner
You don’t get to claim my soul
Every tiny piece I’ve handed over
I’m taking back my control
You can keep your borrowed towers
I won’t trade my daylight for your gold
You can’t measure love in sacrifice and power
I’m not yours to hold
[Verse 2]
You framed my hunger
As some holy cause
Halo on your head
While you wrote the laws
You dressed up the chains
As a saving grace
But I see the cracks now
Right through your pretty face
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried your kingdom
You called it "forever"
But my open hands
Aren’t bound to your ledger
[Chorus]
I’m not your not-alone owner
You don’t get to claim my soul
Every tiny piece I’ve handed over
I’m taking back my control
You can keep your borrowed towers
I won’t trade my daylight for your gold
You can’t measure love in sacrifice and power
I’m not yours to hold
[Bridge]
What if I walk out
And I don’t look back? (hey!)
What if I’m stronger
When I drop this act?
You said I’d be nothing
Standing on my own
But I feel the ground now
And it feels like home
[Chorus]
I’m not your not-alone owner
You don’t get to claim my soul
Every tiny piece I’ve handed over
I’m taking back my control
You can keep your borrowed towers
I won’t trade my daylight for your gold
You can’t measure love in sacrifice and power
I’m not yours
I’m not yours to hold
