You Don't Own Me

(Verse 1)
I packed my bags, said my last goodbye,
You watched me walk, but never asked why.
I found the courage, you lost control,
Now you're creeping round every shadow I know.

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it love, but this feels like war,
Pounding on my windows, breaking down the door.
Said it’s not over, but I’ve moved on —
You're the ghost that won’t be gone.

(Chorus)
You don’t own me, stop trying to haunt me.
I’m not the girl who cries and pleads.
You broke the rules, now you're breaking in,
Playing mind games — you’ll never win.
You don’t own me, you lost that right,
I won’t sleep in fear tonight.


---

(Verse 2)
Saw you in the mirror down the hall,
Footsteps echo where no one's supposed to call.
Your breath lingers like smoke in the air,
You're not love — you're a nightmare.

(Pre-Chorus)
You leave roses on my broken gate,
A twisted gift wrapped up in hate.
I changed my locks, changed my name —
But you still find your way back again.

(Chorus)
You don’t own me, stop trying to haunt me.
I’m not the girl who cries and pleads.
You broke the rules, now you're breaking in,
Playing mind games — you’ll never win.
You don’t own me, you lost that right,
I won’t sleep in fear tonight.

(Bridge)
I see you lurking in the dark,
But I’ve got fire, I’ve got spark.
I won’t be the victim in your game,
I’m not afraid to scream your name.


---

(Final Chorus)
You don’t own me, can’t control me.
I’m not the girl you broke and froze.
Try to scare me — come too close,
You’ll meet the strength you never chose.
You don’t own me, I choose my fight,
And I won’t hide tonight.


---

(Outro - whispered)
I’m not yours…
Not now, not ever.
