No Debt to Anybody Else

Verse 1

Nobody's there when I'm falling apart

No steady hand no shelter from the dark

I learned to stand with my back to the wall

Because the ones who promise don't stay at all

I don't want favors hanging over my head

Or borrowed kindness turning into debt

Every helping hand seems to come with a price

And the cost gets higher every time I'm nice

Pre-Chorus

So I keep my silence I carry my own weight

I've seen too many promises arrive too late

Chorus

Don't tell me the world is always to blame

When you keep feeding the fire and calling it rain

Before you point your finger at somebody else

Take a long hard look at yourself

I'm not giving answers I'm not preaching from a throne

But I know what it means to face your own

If life keeps breaking you don't hide behind excuses

The truth may hurt but it's better than illusions

Verse 2

I recognize the voice of the endlessly sad

Every story is tragic every ending is bad

They blame their friends their luck and the years

But never turn around and confront their fears

I'm not heartless I've been low myself

I've needed rescue I've needed help

But no one can heal what they won't understand

And no one can change what they refuse to command

Pre-Chorus

So I keep my distance though I know how it feels

Some wounds stay open when nobody heals

Chorus

Don't tell me the world is always to blame

When you keep feeding the fire and calling it rain

Before you point your finger at somebody else

Take a long hard look at yourself

I'm not giving answers I'm not preaching from a throne

But I know what it means to face your own

If life keeps breaking you don't hide behind excuses

The truth may hurt but it's better than illusions

Bridge

Maybe I'm too proud maybe I'm afraid

Maybe every debt is a promise that decays

But I'd rather walk alone beneath an empty sky

Than owe my soul to someone standing by

We all have scars we all lose control

But blaming every stranger won't repair your soul

The first step forward may be hard to defend

But change begins where the excuses end

Final Chorus

Don't tell me the world is always to blame

When you keep feeding the fire and calling it rain

Before you point your finger at somebody else

Take a long hard look at yourself

I'm not giving answers I'm just speaking what I know

You can't find freedom running from your shadow

If life keeps breaking you don't hide behind excuses

The truth may hurt but it's better than illusions

Outro

Nobody's there when I'm falling apart

So I learned to rebuild from the pieces of my heart

I may walk alone but at least I know myself

No borrowed mercy no debt to anybody else
