You walked in with a borrowed line, all charm and haze
Quoting movies I've loved since my teenage days
But your fairytale's fragile, it cracks in the light
Promised me the Moon, but you're gone by midnight
I'm not your muse, not your paper-doll dream
I paint my lips red for the girl in my scheme
If you're stepping to me, bring your heart, not a script
I've earned my scars, I know what love is

My heart's a tapestry, stitched from the pain
I've danced through the fire, I've walked in the rain

I'm a real woman, I don't play pretend
If you want my love, you better dive in
Not your fleeting spark or your summer craze
I burn like wildfire, not a fleeting blaze
So if you're here to stay, then build it true
Love's not a game–it's what we choose to do

I'm not your savior, not your bandage for wounds
Won't mend your shadows under soft afternoon
I've loved boys in cardigans, lost in their youth
Now I want a man who can handle my truth
Don't spin me stories you'll leave on the floor
Don't kiss me gently, then slip out the door
I've chased mirages down a highway of dreams
Now I want real–something sewn at the seams

I'm not scared to walk through the dark on my own
But I'll light up the sky if you prove you've grown

I'm a real woman, I don't play pretend
If you want my love, you better dive in
Not your fleeting spark or your summer craze
I burn like wildfire, not a fleeting blaze
So if you're here to stay, then build it true
Love's not a game–it's what we choose to do

I've shattered for dreamers who couldn't see gold
Poured my heart into hands too careless to hold
But I'm done dimming my light to fit in your frame
Now I'm the spark, and I'm naming my flame
(Oh-oh-oh, I'm naming my flame)

I'm a real woman, I don't bend for show
My roots run deeper than your shallow glow
I'm not your fallback, not your safe retreat
If you want forever, meet me on this street
So if you're here to stay, then prove it's true
Love's not a prize–it's what we choose to do

(Oh-oh-oh, what we choose to do)
I'm a real woman, and my heart's my own
But I'll write our story if you carve it in stone
