Lyrics

Verse 1
You want closure like it's on demand
Swipe through feelings I don't understand
You say "we need to talk," but it's déjà vu
Same script, new guilt, and nothing true

Chorus
Stop asking questions 'cause I don't know
Think for yourself. Get your ducks in a row
I'm not your mirror, I'm not your guide
If you want answers, look inside

Verse 2
You quote horoscopes like they're law
Blame the moon for every flaw
I played therapist, priest, and clown
But I won't keep lifting you off the ground

Chorus
Stop asking questions 'cause I don't know
Think for yourself. Get your ducks in a row
I'm not your mirror, I'm not your guide
If you want answers, look inside

Bridge
Love ain't a riddle I'm here to solve
It's not my job to help you evolve
You want a partner, not a prop
So either grow--or let this drop

Verse 3
I gave you grace, you gave me spin
Now I'm done playing next of kin
You want a future? Start today
But don't expect me to pave the way

Chorus
Stop asking questions 'cause I don't know
Think for yourself. Get your ducks in a row
I'm not your mirror, I'm not your guide
If you want answers, look inside

Outro
So line 'em up--your fears, your pride
Your half-truths and the tears you hide
Then walk away or stand and fight
But don't drag me into your rewrite

End
