I Belong To You

Lyrics

[Intro]

I wore so many borrowed names
Trying to become what rooms required
But every mask grew heavy
And every mirror made me tired

[Verse 1]

I learned to read the temperature
Before I ever spoke
Changed the shape of every sentence
So nobody would let me go

I let approval write my value
Let rejection set the price
Made a home inside opinions
That could change in half a night

Then You called me without bargaining
Before I had improved
Not as a project to be managed
But as someone fully known by You

[Pre-Chorus]

I am finished auditioning
For a place love already gave

[Chorus]

I belong to You
Not to every voice that names me
Not to every room that grades me
Not to everything I lose

I belong to You
Before success can claim me
Before failure tries to shame me
This is settled, this is true

I am known
I am called
I am Yours

I belong to You

[Verse 2]

I have treated my reflection
Like a judge behind the glass
Counting every flaw against me
Dragging old mistakes into the present

But You do not speak in fragments
Or reduce me to my worst
You remember what You planted
Underneath the dirt and hurt

You have seen the hidden motives
Every compromise and bruise
Still Your invitation stands there
Not because I earned the room

[Pre-Chorus]

I am not the sum of rumors
Or the record of my falls

[Chorus]

I belong to You
Not to every voice that names me
Not to every room that grades me
Not to everything I lose

I belong to You
Before success can claim me
Before failure tries to shame me
This is settled, this is true

I am known
I am called
I am Yours

I belong to You

[Bridge]

When the crowd turns cold
I am still Yours

When the numbers rise
I am still Yours

When my work is praised
Keep me still Yours

When my name is missed
I am still Yours

No contract signed by culture
No verdict passed by fear
Can cancel what was spoken
When You drew my spirit near

No season gets to own me
No appetite can rule
No past can hold the title
To a life redeemed by You

[Breakdown]

Take the labels
Take the rankings
Take the need to be approved

Take the striving
Take the posing
I have nothing left to prove

[Final Chorus]

I belong to You
When my confidence is shaking
When the road beneath me changes
When familiar things are moved

I belong to You
Not because I never wander
But because Your claim is stronger
Than the lies I once believed

I am known
I am called
I am held
I am Yours

I belong to You

[Outro]

I wore so many borrowed names

Now I answer to one truth

I belong to You
