I’m Not Singing for You

Verse 1

You walk in thinking every word is for your ears alone

You draw the map but never see the roads I roam

Every eye in the room, you swear it’s staring you down

But I’m just singing my truth, you’re just here for the sound

Chorus

It’s not about you, not every song’s a mirror in your hand

It’s not about you, I’m painting stories you won’t understand

All your pride and glory, I’m breaking right through

Hear me loud and true, it’s not about you

Verse 2

You find your name between every crooked line I write

Counting scars and glories that don’t keep me up at night

You take each verse like a bullet, thinking I pulled the trigger

But honey, in my world, your shadow’s getting smaller, never bigger

Chorus

It’s not about you, not every song’s a mirror in your hand

It’s not about you, I’m painting stories you won’t understand

All your pride and glory, I’m breaking right through

Hear me loud and true, it’s not about you

Bridge

Step aside, set me free

You can’t claim what’s meant for me

I found my fire behind the view

I’m singing what I have to, not singing for you

Chorus

It’s not about you, not every song’s a mirror in your hand

It’s not about you, I’m painting stories you won’t understand

All your pride and glory, I’m breaking right through

Hear me loud and true, it’s not about you

Outro

No it’s not about you

Not about you
