Won't Turn into That

You still check my face when I say I'm fine

Like you're waiting on the mask to slide

Like you've seen too many start off kind

Then pull the rug out overnight

But I don't run when it gets too still

Don't play sweet just to chase a thrill

You keep asking what the catch might be

But baby, there's no trap in me

I won't turn into that

Won't twist my love, won't take it back

Won't use your heart like it's something I lack

I've been steady I'll stay like that

No switch, no snap, no mask to crack

No new face under this one

I won't turn into that

You still flinch when I raise my voice

Even when it's just a laugh, not noise

You still brace for the blame to fall

But I'd rather catch you than blame at all

I know what silence used to mean

What cold eyes cost your self-esteem

But I don't freeze and I don't fake

I don't give love just to take

I won't turn into that

Won't twist my love, won't take it back

Won't use your heart like it's something I lack

I've been steady I'll stay like that

No switch, no snap, no mask to crack

No new face under this one

I won't turn into that

You don't have to brace for the break

Don't have to test how much I can fake

You don't have to ask me again

I'll still love you the same

Now, and then

(now and then)
