[Verse 1] You found me by the door With my coat half-zipped I was late again Trying to leave it be You said, "You’re the one" Like it was already done I laughed it off But my hands shook bad [Pre-Chorus] I don’t wear a crown I don’t know the way I just keep my head down Hoping it fades away But you put that weight Right into my chest Now I’m one step in And there’s no turning back [Chorus] Don’t call my name I’m not that brave Still I’ll stand there In the breaking wave Don’t call my name I’m scared to stay But if you fall I’ll be the one who breaks [Verse 2] There’s a dented shield In the back of my car A cracked-up badge And a map full of scars I was built for small For quiet and plain For the side of the road Not the center flame [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want the blame I don’t want the praise I don’t want the story Written on my face But you look at me Like I’m born for this So I take one step And I clench my fist [Chorus] Don’t call my name I’m not that brave Still I’ll stand there In the breaking wave Don’t call my name I’m scared to stay But if you fall I’ll be the one who breaks [Bridge] If I’m honest, I’m terrified Of the light on my skin Of the whole world watching When the cracks begin But I heard your cry In the hard dark air And I hate that I care I hate that I care [Final Chorus] Don’t call my name I’m not that brave Still I’ll stand there In the breaking wave Don’t call my name I’m scared to stay But if you fall I’ll be the one who breaks Don’t call my name I’ll go anyway
