Not Yours to Break

[Verse 1]

You came in loud with a borrowed flame
Throwing sparks, trying to call my name
But I don’t answer to that kind of noise
I don’t bend just because you raise your voice

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel it rise, I feel it burn
But I know what I won’t return

[Chorus]

I’m not yours to break
Not yours to bend
Not yours to carry to the edge again
I won’t fall just to prove I’m strong
I’ve known who I am all along

I stand my ground, I don’t chase
I don’t meet you in that place
You can push, but I won’t shake
I’m not yours
Not yours to break

[Verse 2]

You play your games like a loaded dare
Counting on me to meet you there
But I’ve seen what that road becomes
And I don’t move to the beat of drums

[Pre-Chorus]

You want the spark, you want the flame
But I won’t give you that kind of name

[Chorus]

I’m not yours to break
Not yours to bend
Not yours to carry to the edge again
I won’t fall just to prove I’m strong
I’ve known who I am all along

I stand my ground, I don’t chase
I don’t meet you in that place
You can push, but I won’t shake
I’m not yours
Not yours to break

[Bridge]

I don’t rise to what you throw
I don’t need you to let me go
I am steady, I am still
You don’t get to test my will

[Final Chorus]

I’m not yours to break
Not yours to bend
Not yours to drag into your end
I won’t burn just to light your fight
I choose calm, I choose my right

I stand my ground, I don’t chase
I don’t meet you in that place
You can push, but I won’t shake
I’m not yours
Not yours to break
