Last time I checked, I wasn't one to please
I've been building walls just so I can breathe
But you, you keep stepping through the cracks
Pushing me to give you something back
But sad birds still sing, even when they're broken
And I'm still here standing, even if I'm choking
So don't mistake my silence for weakness
I'm not here to carry a mess
I've been through the dark, I've fought through the flames
I won't let you turn my heart into a game
So if you're coming in, then come in strong
I'm done pretending that I can go along
How can this be more than just running away
More than just hoping for a better day
If I let you in, please don't break a thing
I'm tired of mending the damage people bring
Don't f*ck with my feelings, if you don't know your own
I've walked through too much shit to do this alone
You either love me or leave me behind
I don't need half your heart, I don't need to read your mind
I've got my own battles, my own war to fight
So if you're staying, then be my light
Don't come here to play with my heart and my head
I'd rather be alone than misled
I've been through the dark, I've fought through the flames
I'm not here to be your shelter in vain
If you're unsure, better step back
I've got no time for someone who won't stay intact
Happiness is more than just running away
More than using sleep as an escape from the day
If I let you in, don't tear me apart
I'm already tired of rebuilding my heart
I'm not here for your confusion, not here to be your break
I've got my own storms, my own earthquakes
So don't step closer unless you're sure
I've closed too many doors before
Happiness is more than just running away
More than using sleep as an escape from the day
If I let you in, don't tear me apart
I'm already tired of rebuilding my heart
Last time I checked, I wasn't born to please
I won't live in shadows, I'll live for me
And if I let you in, don't f*ck with my soul
Cause I'm done with being left broken and cold
Sad bird still sing, so will I
But this time I won't break just to survive
