Dont mistake my quiet

I learned young when to hold my tongue, and when to draw a line

There's a difference in being patient, and wasting borrowed time

I watched your stories change by the week, and watched your eyes dodge truth

I ain't here to beg for honesty, I just adjust my boots

So don't slam doors, don't raise hell, just stop standing where you fell

Don't mistake my quiet for needing you, I just ran out of reasons to stay

I don't chase words that don't line up with the way you behave

I can walk off without a scene, still sleep just fine at night

I ain't broken, I'm just done

So don't mistake my quiet

I saw the signs, I did the math

I ain't blind, just chose peace

You taught the circle, so many leaps, like they were guarantees

I don't rewrite what really happened, just to make it hurt less

Some folks learn by losing something

Guess that's your lesson, I gave you room

You moved the walls, now I don't fit here at all

Don't mistake my quiet for needing you, I just ran out of reasons to stay

I don't chase words that don't line up with the way you behave

I can walk off without a scene, still sleep just fine at night

I ain't broken, I'm just done

So don't mistake my quiet

I was raised on earned respect, and knowing when to leave

If love starts feeling one-sided, that's my cue, not my greed

Don't mistake my quiet for losing ground, I just know what I deserve

I don't hang on to almost, or wait my turn to hurt

You'll say I changed, I just grew up, and learned when not to fight

I ain't cold, I ain't weak

Don't mistake my quiet

Yeah, I'm still me

Just standing somewhere better now
