[Verse 1] Tried to talk in a soft voice Spelled my storms in a quiet room You took my hurt like a doorway Walked straight through Left me bruised I gave you names for my shadows You wore them like a crown Thought I’d be safe if I opened You only learned how to tear me down [Chorus] Why is honesty a sin now Why’s my heartbreak your playground You call it love You call it care While you trample through the secrets that I shared So I’m stitching steel through every scar I’m pulling my ribs around my heart You taught me how to play it hard Armor on my heart Armor on my heart [Verse 2] You heard “I’m scared” as surrender Heard “I’m tired” as a green light Climbed my shoulders like a ladder To get a better view of your own sky Every tear turned to leverage Every tremble Something you could steer Guess my truth was just a language You twisted till it disappeared [Chorus] Why is honesty a sin now Why’s my heartbreak your playground You call it love You call it care While you trample through the secrets that I shared So I’m stitching steel through every scar I’m pulling my ribs around my heart You taught me how to play it hard Armor on my heart Armor on my heart [Bridge] Don’t ask me to be “real” then use it Don’t beg for depth just to abuse it (oh) If my silence keeps me safe tonight Then my quiet is my right [Chorus] Why is honesty a sin now Why’s my heartbreak your playground You call it love You call it care But you weaponized the trust that I laid bare So I’m stitching steel through every scar I’m pulling my ribs around my heart You wrote the rules I’ll play my part Armor on my heart Armor on my heart
