[Intro]
I know what you are thinking
I see it in your half-smile
You’re reaching for a storyline
To pull me in, to file me under “mine”
[Verse 1]
You dress your doubt in sugar
Call it “only if you want”
But every favor has a string
You’d wrap around my heart
You say I’m so “electric”
When I dim, you’re in the dark
You’d turn my fire to a trick
A party piece, a spark
[Pre-Chorus]
I caught that little pause before you speak
The whisper behind your teeth, yeah, it’s loud to me
You want a mirror, not a mind
You want my echo, not my light
[Chorus]
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be your—
No, I will not be your— (hey!)
No, I will not be your—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
I’ll be mine, I’ll be mine
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be your—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
[Verse 2]
You call me “perfect timing”
Like I’m made for your plans
Try to fold me like a map
Into the shape of your hands
You love me when I’m shining
As long as it’s your show
But I’ve been learning how to leave
The second I say “no”
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the script you’re trying to recite
I’ve outgrown every cage that looks like “right”
You want a promise, carved in stone
I want a throne that’s made of “own”
[Chorus]
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be your—
No, I will not be your— (oh yeah)
No, I will not be your—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
I’ll be mine, I’ll be mine
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be your—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
[Bridge]
I am not a spare dream
Waiting in your backseat
I am not a soft place
You land when your knees get weak
I am every late night
I am every sunrise
I am my own green light (go go go go)
Watch me, watch me, watch me try
[Chorus]
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be it—
No, I will not be your— (hey!)
No, I will not be your—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
I’ll be mine, I’ll be mine (all mine)
I know what you are thinking
But I will not be it—
No, I will not be your—
Because I’ll be mine
[Outro]
I know what you are thinking
I feel it reach for my spine
You keep on calling me “yours”
But I’m already mine
