Lyrics
[Verse 1] You leave your coat beside the kitchen door Rain in the sleeves, mud across the floor I read the warning written on your face One more excuse and I will leave this place [Pre-Chorus] You pull the thread, I feel it start to break Say my name like something you can take [Chorus] I won’t go quiet just to keep you calm I’ve got a match beneath my palm If you want war, then look me in the eyes I’m done shrinking down to fit your lies I’m still here, still breathing hard You don’t get to choose the pieces of my heart [Verse 2] The hallway clock is missing half its glass Your photograph is face-down in the trash I found the key you swore you threw away Under the sink with every word you couldn’t say [Pre-Chorus] You pull the thread, I feel it start to break This time I’m ready for the shape it makes [Chorus] I won’t go quiet just to keep you calm I’ve got a match beneath my palm If you want war, then look me in the eyes I’m done shrinking down to fit your lies I’m still here, still breathing hard You don’t get to choose the pieces of my heart [Bridge] Let the room fall still Let the old walls hear Every promise you killed Every swallowed fear I was never yours to bury I was never yours to save When the silence turns to thunder I will walk out of this cage [Final Chorus] I won’t go quiet, I won’t turn away I found my voice in the wreckage you made If you want war, then look me in the eyes I’m done shrinking down to fit your lies I’m still here, still breathing hard You don’t get to choose the pieces of my heart No, you don’t get to choose the pieces of my heart [Outro] I leave the coat beside your kitchen door And I don’t live here anymore
