[Verse 1] The sound isn’t ticking Not a gentle beat It turned down every offer Every sweetened deal Every treat It’s grown so much stronger Still the same size in my chest Got a shell around the edges Steel over all the rest [Chorus] It’s armoured now Stamped “do not tamper” Heart on lockdown No space for chancers No time wasters No childlike faces I’m done Just give me a real man who isn’t gonna run I’m looking for potential Not a hit of fun Just give me a real man who isn’t gonna run [Verse 2] You talk in empty echoes Cheap heat Fast burn I’ve seen that show already Got the scars to prove I learned So if you want to touch this Know the price you pay Come with both feet steady Or just walk away [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] This isn’t a game night This is my life This isn’t a quick fix This is my fight Step in Step up Or stay out the light Step in Step up Or stay out the light [Chorus]
