lyrics

You played a solid hand to own the things you can’t
You tried your best, and you’ve done well
But mine’s another game, I feel it all the same
Just take a step back, let it breathe—I’ll fill it in

So here I go again, divulging problems
And wishing words would pray on someone else’s pain

If you wanna talk, talk, talk, I’ll talk about it
You could only be so small to make me doubt myself
And if I’m in the mood, I’ll put it on
It’s not your song

You think you know what’s right for someone else’s life
And your decisions speak like rhythms in my way
If I request a friend, it’s not for you to recommend
Or make decisions like incisions in my hand

Leave me on my own
This path is mine to roam
And don’t you dream of ever leading me again

If you wanna talk, talk, talk, I’ll talk about it
You could only be so small to make me doubt myself
And if I’m in the mood, I’ll put it on
It’s not your song

You could never script my lines to such perfection
It’s my lesson, these my questions
You do yours, and I’ll do mine

You played a solid hand to own the things you can’t
It took a while to speak my mind

If you wanna talk, talk, talk, I’ll talk about it
You could only be so small to make me doubt myself
And if I’m in the mood, I’ll put it on
It’s not your song
It’s not your song
It’s not your song
