Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It could mean your silence with my heart, the word

It's strong enough

So I've heard

You've mistaken me for your masterpiece

Gilding me

So I try

[Verse 2]

Frame me fallen, take me as I come

Or face the night alone

These idle arms that know

[Verse 3]

I can be bold

Decorate me, adore me, baby

But I can't be owned

It's not part of my design

I'll let you know

When I need you to liberate me

I'll hold my pose

But I'm not your, I'm not your muse

I'm not your, I'm not your muse

[Verse 4]

He came back to me like he knew he would

Didn't know the chance he took

Was one too far

Only I can steal the god you've made of me

Anyone else could see

It's in my palms

[Verse 5]

Gets easier to grieve the morning sun

To face the night alone

These idle arms I hold

[Verse 6]

I can be bold

Decorate me, adore me, baby

But I can't be owned

It's not part of my design

I'll let you know

When I need you to liberate me

I'll hold my pose

But I'm not your, I'm not your muse

I'm not your, I'm not your muse

[Verse 7]

What have I got to do?

Why give myself to lose?

You know me, disown me

Come back to my start

[Verse 8]

I can be bold

Decorate me

Adore me, baby

But I can't be owned

It's not part of my design

I'll let you know

When I need you to liberate me

I'll hold my pose

But I'm not your, I'm not your muse

I'm not your, I'm not your muse

I'm not your, I'm not your muse

I'm not your, I'm not your
