You Don't Get To Name Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You brought a suitcase full of reasons Left it open by my door Every promise neatly folded I don't wear those clothes anymore [Pre-Chorus] You can keep the polished apology Keep the version where I'm small I learned the cost of letting go And I won't pay it all [Chorus] I'm not taking what you're handing me Not the blame, not the borrowed truth I'm not taking one more half-way word Just to make it easier on you I have both feet on the kitchen floor I know exactly what I'm choosing now I'm not taking, I'm not taking You don't get to name me now [Verse 2] There's a receipt beneath the coffee For a life we never bought All the damage has a number But the lesson can't be sold [Pre-Chorus] You can keep the careful silence Keep the key beneath the stone I can hear my own decision When the room is finally still [Chorus] I'm not taking what you're handing me Not the blame, not the borrowed truth I'm not taking one more half-way word Just to make it easier on you I have both feet on the kitchen floor I know exactly what I'm choosing now I'm not taking, I'm not taking You don't get to name me now [Bridge] If you came for my forgiveness Bring your own and leave it there I can wish you something better Without carrying your despair [Final Chorus] I'm not taking what you're handing me Not the blame, not the borrowed truth I'm not taking one more half-way word There is nothing left to prove I have both feet on the kitchen floor And a door I finally know how to close I'm not taking, I'm not taking I am leaving with my own [Outro] I'm not taking No, I'm not taking You don't get to name me now
