Verse 1 I used to carry every wound like it was mine to keep, Built my walls so high they stole my sleep. Every broken promise left a shadow on my skin, Had me fighting old ghosts every time somebody walked in. I was looking for answers in people who couldn’t stay, Trying to earn a love that always slipped away. But I sat with my pain, let the silence tell the truth, And somewhere in the healing, I found my way back to me. Pre-Chorus Now the scars don’t own me, The past can’t control me. I learned the difference between attention and devotion. Chorus ‘Cause I don’t want the games, I don’t want the lies, Don’t want half-hearted love wrapped in a good disguise. I’ve spent too many nights putting pieces back together, Now I’m ready for a heart that chooses me forever. No more masks, no more pretending, No more stories with the same sad ending. I’ve done the work, I’ve faced the fire, Now I’m ready for a love that rises higher. Verse 2 I met every insecurity and called it by its name, Stopped blaming myself for somebody else’s pain. Learned that being vulnerable ain’t the same as being weak, And real love doesn’t leave you begging to be seen. Now I know my worth without needing validation, Found peace inside the spaces between expectations. And if you come my way, come honest from the start, ‘Cause I’ve rebuilt this home inside my heart. Pre-Chorus I don’t need perfection, Just truth and connection. A love that’s steady when the world gets rough. Chorus ‘Cause I don’t want the games, I don’t want the lies, Don’t want half-hearted love wrapped in a good disguise. I’ve spent too many nights putting pieces back together, Now I’m ready for a heart that chooses me forever. No more masks, no more pretending, No more stories with the same sad ending. I’ve done the work, I’ve faced the fire, Now I’m ready for a love that rises higher. Bridge If you hold my hand, hold it with intention, If you say forever, mean every mention. I’m not looking for a rescue, I already saved myself, I’m looking for a partner, not somebody else to heal. Final Chorus I don’t want the games, I don’t want the lies, I want a love that’s honest even when it cries. A safe place to land, a reason to believe, Someone who stays when it’s easier to leave. I’ve walked through the darkness, I’ve carried the weight, Turned every heartbreak into something great. Now I’m standing here with nothing left to prove, Ready for the kind of love that’s true. ❤️✨
