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
