Not Your Target

Lyrics

[Intro] Listen close, I’m making this plain No more excuses dressed up as change [Verse 1] You don’t get to cut me down Then act surprised when I leave town Every cheap shot, every little test You called it truth, I called it disrespect I kept the door unlocked too long Let you rewrite right from wrong Now you’re standing there, asking why Read the room: this is goodbye [Pre-Chorus] I begged for basic decency You treated that like charity So take your stories, take your spin You lost the right to pull me in [Chorus] Go find somebody who will swallow your mess Who calls your cruelty a bad day at best I’m done translating every insult you throw Done making room for a person who won’t grow You don’t get to be a bitch to me Then expect forgiveness for free Pack up your pride, take it out the door I’m not your target anymore [Verse 2] You want a medal for saying you’re sorry After turning every room into a courtroom story You made me beg for the bare minimum Now watch how fast I become difficult Not difficult—just finally clear Your favorite weapon was my fear You thought I’d fold, you thought I’d stay But I learned your pattern and walked away [Pre-Chorus] No more explaining what you already know No more softening the damage you show Keep your apology polished and sweet It won’t put you back in my seat [Chorus] Go find somebody who will swallow your mess Who calls your cruelty a bad day at best I’m done translating every insult you throw Done making room for a person who won’t grow You don’t get to be a bitch to me Then expect forgiveness for free Pack up your pride, take it out the door I’m not your target anymore [Bridge] I am not your practice round Not the place you dump your damage down Not a patient saint, not a spare key You had your chance—now you’re losing me [Final Chorus] Go find somebody who will carry your weight Somebody willing to mistake neglect for fate I’m done translating, done keeping score You can’t hurt me from outside this door You don’t get to be a bitch to me And call that love or honesty Take every promise you broke before I’m not your target anymore [Outro] No more calls No more debate You made your choice I made mine—too late
