No Longer For Me

V5.5

[Verse 1] Under the hum Under the lights They chant my name like they own my blood My chest keeps count of what I don't say My girls tape their pictures to the walls My son still counts the days They don't know what I'm holding up [Pre-Chorus] Teeth on my tongue, I’m biting down Heart in my throat, I won't black out [Chorus] Thank God for the hands that drag me back Thank God for the reasons I won't quit The dark keeps calling, keeps pulling me in But this life’s not mine to give I’m no longer for me [Verse 2] They sell a version of me I never met I choke on what my body wants to scream I’m burning off the fumes of yesterday Tryna build little worlds my kids get to keep You say love the ones who cut me That’s the hardest thing You’ve asked ’Cause my hands keep making fists From everything I can’t throw back [Pre-Chorus] Rage in my veins, I’m shaking hard Still I won’t trade this shattered heart [Chorus] Thank God for the hands that drag me back Thank God for the reasons I won’t quit The dark keeps calling, keeps pulling me in But this life’s not mine to give I’m no longer for me [Bridge] They can keep the title They can keep the story Whatever lets them sleep My name was spoken first By a voice that never leaves So let these hands stay open Even when they shake I’ll be the ground beneath I’ll be what doesn’t break You’ve always been that for me… [Breakdown] Thank God for the hands that hold me still Thank God for the ones who scream my name The dark can keep on calling I know who I am And I’m no longer for me [Outro] I’m no longer for me Branded in my bones This life was never mine I was always Yours alone
