[Verse 1] You say I’m fire ‘til I burn your tongue Say I’m “the one” ‘til I don’t come undone You liked my voice when I sang for you But not when I asked what you really do You liked me wild, but only tamed You wrote my story, left out my name Told your friends I was your spark But you cut the lights and called it dark [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been kind, and I’ve been quiet Now I’m done with playing silent [Chorus] You want the body, but not the blood Want my heart, but never love You want my smile in all your dreams But not the mouth when it starts to scream You want the girl who’ll never leave But baby I don’t come for free [Verse 2] I hope she laughs when you lie like that I hope she sees through all your tact You used my soft like it was steel Took my warmth, but never healed You like your women seen, not heard You like your kisses without words But I’m not lips you just erase I’m the echo that you can’t replace [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been yours, and I’ve been blind Now I’m done wasting my prime [Chorus – Repeat, but softer] You want the body, but not the blood Want the heat, but not the flood You want the part that keeps you clean But never the dirt that made me mean You want the girl you made believe But baby I don’t come for free [Bridge – slower, haunting] You don’t get to hold me Just to say you broke me You don’t get my silence As some kind of closure [Final Chorus – lift, melodic echo] You want the fire, not the flame You want the dress, not the name You want the love, but not the scars You want the song, but not the bars You want my soul behind a screen But baby I don’t come— I don’t come for free
