Verse 1
I gave you my time, my heart, my trust,
When you needed a hand, I did what I must.
But your hands kept reaching, never enough,
Every "thank you" felt colder, every take got rough.
Pre-Chorus
Now the scales have tipped, and I see the weight,
How my kindness was twisted into your escape.
You crossed the lines I didn’t know I drew,
And now I’m standing up—for me, not for you.
Chorus
I’m drawing the line, no more giving it all,
If you build a house on my kindness, it’s bound to fall.
You can point your fingers, you can throw your stones,
But I won’t be the foundation you break alone.
I’m drawing the line, this time it’s mine.
Verse 2
You asked for my patience, my money, my care,
And I gave until nothing of me was there.
When I pulled back, your anger broke through,
Your words like fire—“What’s wrong with you?”
Pre-Chorus
But I see it now, the pattern so clear,
How you thrived on control, how you fed on my fear.
The gaslight’s dimmed, your shadow’s exposed,
This is my boundary, and the door’s now closed.
Chorus
I’m drawing the line, no more giving it all,
If you build a house on my kindness, it’s bound to fall.
You can point your fingers, you can throw your stones,
But I won’t be the foundation you break alone.
I’m drawing the line, this time it’s mine.
Verse 3
You can call me selfish, say I’ve changed,
But I’ve learned my worth—I’m done being drained.
Your chaos won’t haunt me, I’ve locked that door,
This heart isn’t a charity anymore.
Pre-Chorus
I gave you the best of what I could give,
But boundaries are how I’ve learned to live.
No more second-guessing, no more blind faith,
I’m walking away, reclaiming my space.
Chorus
I’m drawing the line, no more giving it all,
If you build a house on my kindness, it’s bound to fall.
You can point your fingers, you can throw your stones,
But I won’t be the foundation you break alone.
I’m drawing the line, this time it’s mine.
Bridge
It’s not weakness to care, it’s not shame to give,
But I’ve learned the hard way how I want to live.
I’ll help those in need, but I’ll guard my own heart,
No more letting you tear me apart.
Chorus
I’m drawing the line, no more giving it all,
If you build a house on my kindness, it’s bound to fall.
You can point your fingers, you can throw your stones,
But I won’t be the foundation you break alone.
I’m drawing the line, this time it’s mine.
Outro
So take your guilt, your anger, your blame,
I’m stepping away, I’m shedding the shame.
My boundaries are bridges to where I’ll grow strong,
And this is my anthem—it’s where I belong.
