I gave you my time
But it came with a cost
Every inch that I bend feels like another part lost
You call it love
I call it theft
Whatβs left of me when thereβs nothing left
A whisperβs louder than a scream
Iβm not your puppet
Not your dream
Iβm drawing lines
Soft but steady
Protecting my soul
Keeping it ready
Not a wall
Just a garden gate
Iβm here for love
But I regulate
I watered your roots while my own went dry
Fed your fire but burned my sky
Now I sip my tea while I set my tone
Iβm not unkind
Just reclaiming my throne
A sigh says more than words can spell
Respect my peace
Or wish me well
Iβm drawing lines
Soft but steady
Protecting my soul
Keeping it ready
Not a wall
Just a garden gate
Iβm here for love
But I regulate
