Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I gave you loyalty like blood in my veins, Held you down through the thunder and the hurricanes. Told my truth even when it broke my soul, But you looked at me like a liar you had to control. Every time I stayed and fought for us, You twisted my heart, you shattered my trust. Now you look shocked ‘cause I'm standing tall — But I ain't your fool, no, not at all [Pre-Chorus] You only loved the version of me that stayed quiet, You only stayed when my pain stayed silent. Now that I'm choosing my heart over fear, You call me the villain just for being clear. [Chorus] I’m done playing dead just to keep you warm, Done being the shelter you wreck in the storm. I gave my all, but you wanted my soul Now I give it to myself, I'm taking control. You don’t get to call me disloyal for healing You don’t get to punish me for feeling. No more fool, no more chains, I walk away even if it rains. [Verse 2] You built a cage and called it love, Told me my truth was never enough. But silence ain’t love and fear ain’t faith, And I refuse to keep bleeding for someone who won’t stay. Every time I tried to show you my heart, You loaded your doubts and you tore it apart. You called it loyalty when it was control — But baby, I'm breaking your hold. [Pre-Chorus] You only loved the version of me that stayed quiet, You only stayed when my pain stayed silent. Now that I'm choosing my heart over fear, You call me the villain just for being clear [Chorus] I’m done playing dead just to keep you warm, Done being the shelter you wreck in the storm. I gave my all, but you wanted my soul — Now I give it to myself, I'm taking control. You don’t get to call me disloyal for healing You don’t get to punish me for feeling. No more fool, no more chains, I walk away even if it rains. [Bridge] This love was a battlefield dressed up like a dream, But I’m laying down my weapons — I’m setting myself free. I won't beg you to see me, won't bleed for your pride I'm done dimming my fire just to keep you alive.[Final Chorus] (bigger, more powerful, almost like a gospel moment) I’m done playing dead just to keep you warm, Done being the shelter you wreck in the storm. I gave my all, but you wanted my soul — Now I give it to myself, I'm taking control. You don’t get to call me disloyal for healing You don’t get to punish me for feeling. No more fool, no more chains, I walk away even if it rains. [Outro] No more fool... No more chains... I save myself today.
