I'm Not an Instrument (So Don't Play Me) (Remastered)

You strum my heart like it’s your guitar Think you’re a rockstar, but you won’t get far I’m not your fiddle, won’t bend to your tune Your sweet-talk’s fading like a cheap perfume You’re tossing out lines, but they’re missing the beat Trying to play me, but I’m off your sheet My soul’s not a song for your slick little game I’m calling you out, gonna rewrite my name I’m not an instrument, so don’t play me No pawn in your game, I’m breaking free Your chords are off, can’t control my soul I’m dancing my way to a vibe of my own You twirl your words like a DJ’s old spin But your tired tricks won’t pull me in I’m not your drum, won’t march to your pace I’m kicking you out of my heart’s bright space You’re tossing out lines, but they’re missing the beat Trying to play me, but I’m off your sheet My soul’s not a song for your slick little game I’m calling you out, gonna rewrite my name I’m not an instrument, so don’t play me No pawn in your game, I’m breaking free Your chords are off, can’t control my soul I’m dancing my way to a vibe of my own I wanted real love, not your fake serenade Your notes are hollow, they’re starting to fade I’m my own rhythm, got fire in my core You’re out of tune, I don’t need you no more I’m not an instrument, so don’t play me No pawn in your game, I’m breaking free Your chords are off, can’t control my soul I’m dancing my way to a vibe of my own So drop your fake act and your worn-out refrain My heart’s got a beat that you can’t contain I’m not your instrument, I’m claiming my throne I’m singing my truth, and I’m shining alone
