[Verse 1] They set the table like a stage, same old lines, the same old cage. Perfect smiles over broken ground, every truth stays underground. I used to shrink beneath their eyes, choked by every forced “be nice.” But something burned and didn’t fade — a fire they never could unmake. [Pre-Chorus] I hear the noise behind the door, I’m not that person anymore. [Chorus] No thanks given — I won’t bow or play the part. No thanks given — I cut their names out of my heart. No thanks given — I rise alone, I breathe again, and light the night with every scar they left within. No thanks given — I’m not yours, I’m mine. And this year I finally draw the line. [Verse 2] They pour the wine, they pour the blame, wrap their guilt in a holiday name. But I’m done carrying the weight of stories cooked in quiet hate. I walk outside, the air is clean, a colder world, but I feel seen. No empty chairs, no brittle ties — just open space and clearer skies. [Pre-Chorus] I hear the echo fade behind — that house no longer owns my mind. [Chorus] No thanks given — I won’t bow or play the part. No thanks given — I cut their names out of my heart. No thanks given — I rise alone, I breathe again, and light the night with every scar they left within. No thanks given — I’m not yours, I’m mine. And this year I finally draw the line. [Bridge] I won’t pretend for comfort’s sake, no borrowed truth, no quiet ache. If freedom means I stand alone, then let the night become my home. [Break / Drop] No thanks… No chains… No blame… I’m not the same. [Final Chorus] No thanks given — I won’t kneel for what’s not real. No thanks given — I finally learned how to heal. No thanks given — I rise alone, I breathe again, and let the fire drown the ghosts inside my skin. No thanks given — I walk forward, undefined. And this year I finally call it mine. [Outro] No thanks given… but I’m finally living.
