[Intro]
0:00
Verse 1
0:23
I’m not just revolving,
0:23
I’ve been here before,
0:28
Same fight, different season,
0:32
Same crack in the door.
0:35
We call it forgiveness,
0:43
We call it trying again,
0:46
But motion ain’t movement
0:48
When it circles the same.
0:51
Pre-Chorus
0:54
I don’t need to raise my voice,
0:54
Or prove who’s right or wrong—
0:57
I just finally hear the truth
0:59
In the quiet when you’re gone.
1:02
Chorus
1:07
I’m not just revolving,
1:07
I’m not lost anymore,
1:10
I won’t be the doorway
1:12
You walk through and ignore.
1:15
I stayed out of habit,
1:18
I stayed out of hope,
1:20
But I’m not gonna be your door
1:23
No more.
1:30
Verse 2
1:38
I learned how to soften,
1:38
I learned how to bend,
1:43
How to call it love
1:47
When it felt like the end.
1:50
You’d come back unchanged,
1:58
I’d call it belief,
2:00
But love without respect
2:03
Is just starving in peace.
2:05
Pre-Chorus
2:08
This ain’t blame or forgiveness,
2:08
A win or a score—
2:11
It’s just naming the truth
2:14
I couldn’t say before.
2:16
Chorus
2:22
I’m not just revolving,
2:22
I finally see,
2:25
Endurance ain’t devotion
2:27
If it costs all of me.
2:30
I won’t be the place
2:32
You reset and restore—
2:35
I’m not gonna be your door
2:38
No more.No fire in my leaving,
2:45
No last slammed door,
3:15
Just the quiet understanding
3:17
I can’t hold this up anymore.
3:21
