Not Yours to Break

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

I feel it rise, I feel it burn

But I know what I won’t return

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

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

You want the spark, you want the flame

But I won’t give you that kind of name

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

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

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
