[Verse 1] You drew a line across the kitchen tile Said, “Cross it once and you’re gone a while” I watched the kettle shake against the sink Held my breath longer than I could think [Pre-Chorus] Every little promise has a price Every quiet answer cuts like ice [Chorus] I’m not backing down, not tonight You can turn the lock, kill every light I’ve got both feet planted where I stand No more taking orders I don’t understand I’m not backing down, hear me now You don’t get to tell me who I am [Verse 2] Your photograph is facedown in the hall The frame still carries dust along the wall I packed the keys you never gave to me And left your careful version of the truth [Pre-Chorus] Every little warning missed its mark I learned to see with both eyes in the dark [Chorus] I’m not backing down, not tonight You can turn the lock, kill every light I’ve got both feet planted where I stand No more taking orders I don’t understand I’m not backing down, hear me now You don’t get to tell me who I am [Bridge] Let the old floor creak Let the cold air in I was small for years I won’t shrink again Say my name like a threat Watch it lose its weight I am done waiting At the garden gate [Final Chorus] I’m not backing down, not tonight You can turn the lock, kill every light I’ve got both feet planted where I stand No more taking orders I don’t understand I’m not backing down, hear me now You don’t get to tell me who I am [Outro] Both feet planted where I stand No more taking orders I don’t understand
