Lyrics
You thought I’d fold for goodNot this timeNot this time
You start a fight when it gets quietTurn one sentence into a trialKeep pushing just to see me lose itThen call me difficult when I do
You know exactly where to pressHow long to keep the room on edgeBut I’m done rehearsing every answerJust to keep you comfortable
I spent too long measuring every wordSleeping with my jaw locked tightMaking myself smaller in the same damn roomJust so you could feel alright
But you read me wrongYou read me wrong
You don’t get the final sayYou don’t get to tell me what survives thisI’m still hereAnd I’m done asking you to like it
You don’t get another pieceI pulled my whole life out of your gripI’m still hereAnd you don’t get to call this weakness
You don’t get the final say
I learned to check the room beforeI let my real reaction showLearned which version kept the peaceAnd which one made you start again
I kept the anger in my throatKept plans folded in my coatUntil the night I heard myselfAgree with things I didn’t mean
That scared me more than any fightMore than anything you threwI could hear your voice inside my headFinishing my thoughts for you
So I shut it outI shut it out
You don’t get the final sayYou don’t get to tell me what survives thisI’m still hereAnd I’m done asking you to like it
You don’t get another pieceI pulled my whole life out of your gripI’m still hereAnd you don’t get to call this weakness
You don’t get the final say
I know what you’ll sayYou’ll say I changed
Good
I know what you’ll tell themYou’ll make me the problem
Fine
You can keep your versionI’m keeping my life
You don’t get the final sayYou don’t get to tell me what survives thisI’m still hereAnd I don’t need you to believe it
You don’t get another pieceNothing in me belongs in your gripI’m still hereAnd you don’t get to call this weakness
No final sayNo final say
You had your chanceYou used it up
No final sayNot anymore
I walked out with my whole lifeAnd every part of it is mine
