You say I don't know you like the months where I dream
You rewrite our story with fear as your ink
Won't let you change the record and tell me a lie
I was here every step, it's too late to hide
I can fight off the world, don't make me fight you
If you ever step up, you know who I'd choose
Don't tell me I'm wrong
When I'm speaking the truth
I know the man that you are
Not the idea of you
Smoke and mirrors you try to hide
But I see you now, I'm clear-eyed
Don't wrap your lie in pretty protection
Like I won't notice the misdirection
Don't canonize your cowardice and call it saving me
Don't close the door I opened then pretend you lost the key
Don't tell me I'm wrong
When I'm speaking the truth
I know the man that you are
Not the idea of you
I don't want a martyr
I just need a man
I'm not made of paper
I'm not made of glass
Don't call yourself poison and make them our cage
I said what I wanted, you don't get a say
Don't tell me I'm wrong
When I'm speaking the truth
I know the man that you are
Not the idea of you
Not a warning, not a shadow, not a lie in your place
I know the man that you are
Not the idea of you
