Lyrics
Verse 1
You only call when the night goes wrong,
When your road is short and the bridge is gone,
My name lights up like a spare tire sign,
Never just to ask if I’m doing fine.
You know my weak spots, you know my grace,
You know which words make me open space,
You pull my heart like it owes you rent,
But love was never what you meant.
Chorus
Don’t mistake my heart for a handle,
I won’t be pulled where you want me to land,
Kindness ain’t weakness, grace ain’t free use,
I can love you and still say no to you.
Verse 2
You wrap your need in a broken cry,
Call it loyalty, call it “ride or die,
But I don’t hear you when I’m in pain,
You disappear when I need the same.
I’ve poured myself till I’m running dry,
Calling it love while I’m asking why,
Every time you take and never stay,
You teach my soul what not to pay.
Chorus
Don’t mistake my heart for a handle,
I won’t be pulled where you want me to land,
Kindness ain’t weakness, grace ain’t free use,
I can love you and still say no to you.
[Solo]
Verse 3
So here’s what I do, I draw the line,
I guard my peace, I guard my time,
I give from strength, not guilt or fear,
I show up whole, not disappear.
If you want me, then meet me fair,
Carry your weight, show that you care,
Love that’s real don’t drain the room,
It grows us both, it doesn’t consume.
Bridge
Boundaries aren’t walls, they’re doors with keys,
For mutual love and honesty,
If all you want is what you can take,
You’ll find my heart is not your lake.
Chorus
Don’t mistake my heart for a handle,
I won’t be pulled by your demands,
I choose respect, I choose my truth,
I choose love that’s balanced too.
[Solo]
Outro
I’ll still wish you well, I won’t grow cold,
But I won’t be used to feel needed or whole,
My kindness stays, my spine stands tall,
I answer love not every call.
