[Verse 1] I saw the marks they left on your soft kind heart how they took your yes and tore it apart You still say “it’s fine” but I know that look I’m not here to watch them write the same old book [Pre-Chorus] Not this time, baby Not in this house They had their chance I’m closing that down [Chorus] Not your doormat No, not again I’ll stand in the doorway I’ll take that hit Not your doormat They don’t get in If they want your light They gotta answer to me (to me) [Verse 2] I’ll clean off the mud from the truth they trampled When they call you back I’ll be the one you answer to You don’t owe a smile to the ones who drained you They can keep their guilt I’m done with the games they played you [Pre-Chorus] Not this time, baby I mean what I say I’ll be the wall between you and the rain [Chorus] Not your doormat No, not again I’ll stand in the doorway I’ll take that hit Not your doormat They don’t get in If they want your heart They gotta answer to me (to me) [Bridge] If your hands shake now I’ll hold them steady If they come too close they’ll find me ready You can lean on me you can rest your weight I’m not asking, love I’m making the space [Chorus] Not your doormat No, not again I’ll stand in the doorway I’ll take that hit Not your doormat They don’t get in You are not for use You are loved, and that’s the truth (the truth)
