Not Your Shame

V5.5

[Verse 1] You took my skin for granted Like it was yours to own Left fingerprints on memories That still crawl through my bones They called it tragedy I called it Tuesday night Walking home in my old jeans Just trying to live my life [Chorus] This is not my fault This is not my shame You don't get to build a throne From my pain, from my name You can live with what you did I will live, I will remain You don't get to write my story You don't get to wear my blame [Verse 2] They asked me all their questions What I drank, what I wore As if my "no" was fragile Like a lock on a paper door You walked away in silence But the echo stayed with me Now I dress in steady anger Like an armor they can see [Chorus] This is not my fault This is not my shame You don't get to build a throne From my pain, from my name You can live with what you did I will live, I will remain You don't get to write my story You don't get to wear my blame [Bridge] I am more than one dark evening (hey) More than what you stole You cracked parts of my body You never touched my soul Someday I’ll say it softer Someday I’ll say it loud I survived the worst of you And I still stand my ground [Chorus] This is not my fault This is not my shame You don't get to build a throne From my pain, from my name You can live with what you did I will live, I will remain I am not your secret scar I am not your broken thing You don't get to write my story I’ll decide what this will mean
