Intro I was fine. I was quiet. Then you showed up again. Verse 1 I shut the tabs, I closed the door, learned how to breathe without wanting more. Built myself back in the dark alone, now you knock like you still have a home. You ask how I am like it’s harmless talk, like you didn’t teach me how to walk on broken trust, on empty nights, on promises you never tried. Pre-Chorus You don’t get credit for checking in, you don’t get points for “trying” again. You don’t get access just ‘cause you care— you lost that right when you weren’t there. Chorus Don’t reopen me, don’t pull that thread, don’t say my name like you didn’t wreck it. You say you’ve changed — I’ve heard that lie, you say you miss me — then prove me why. Don’t reopen me, don’t act confused, I survived what you put me through. I don’t want you, but damn it hurts that you still try to make it worse. Verse 2 You say you miss us, say you grew, but your actions say the same old you. You want forgiveness, want my peace, like healing’s something you can lease. You circle back when you feel low, use my name to soften your ego. Pick me up, put me back down, then act shocked when I don’t stick around. Pre-Chorus You don’t get to feel redeemed by touching wounds you didn’t clean. I’m not your comfort, not your repair, I’m not your “almost” anymore — swear. Chorus Don’t reopen me, don’t pull that thread, don’t say my name like you didn’t wreck it. You say you’ve changed — I’ve heard that lie, you say you miss me — then pass me by. Don’t reopen me, don’t play kind, you don’t get to live in my mind. I don’t want you, but damn it hurts that you still try to make it worse. Bridge I’m not angry ‘cause I want you back, I’m angry ‘cause I see the act. You don’t love me — you hate being alone, and I won’t be your halfway home. Say you care, say you’re new, but your pattern always bleeds through. I’m not healing just to bleed again for a man who never chose me then. Chorus Don’t reopen me — I’m not the same, I don’t fall apart when you say my name. You don’t get to haunt my peace, I buried us — let that be. Don’t reopen me — I’m done explaining, I’m done reliving, done restraining. I don’t want you — hear it clear: stay gone. That’s how you prove you care. Outro Next time you think of reaching out… don’t. I already survived you.

Don't Reopen Me
