Lesson Left Cold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You picked a name, not a problem Called it “order,” called it “truth” Put my face up in the crossfire Just to win in front of the room You wanted eyes on me Like I was built to break But I learned real quick Some people teach by mistake You kept score, kept pressure Kept that cold little smile I kept my head down, still I knew you’d run out of style [Pre-Chorus] Now the room knows What you really do You twist one moment Then you blame it on you [Chorus] You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame Try to pin me, I stand taller Try to break me, I go harder You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame I was there, I made it through Now that shadow don’t own you [Verse 2] Senior year, I was tired You came hunting for a crack Every look felt loaded Like you wanted one thing back But I kept my grades up Kept my face straight too Now that little power trip Looks small in the rear view I won’t drag your whole life I’ll just call what it was A game with sharp edges And a classroom full of dust [Pre-Chorus] Now the room knows What you really do You twist one moment Then you blame it on you [Chorus] You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame Try to pin me, I stand taller Try to break me, I go harder You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame I was there, I made it through Now that shadow don’t own you [Bridge] I kept my breath, kept my stance While you fed on the noise Thought you had the whole class But you never had my voice [Final Chorus] You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame Try to pin me, I stand taller Try to break me, I go harder You don’t get to say my name You don’t get to frame my flame I was there, I made it through Now that shadow don’t own you
