What You Chose

Verse 1

I remember when you were my safe place

Now I don’t recognize your face

You used to look at me like home

Now I’m sleepin’ next to someone gone

I fought for us, I begged, I stayed

Made excuses for your mistakes

But love don’t survive on maybes

And I’m tired of tryin’ to save you

Pre-Chorus

You said it wasn’t what it seemed

Said it was the drugs, not you and me

But every lie chipped love away

Till there was nothin’ left to say

Chorus

You cheated on my heart, then numbed the pain

Chose temporary highs over my name

I waited for you to come back clean

But you kept choosing everything but me

Now I look at you and I don’t feel us

Just scars where there used to be trust

I didn’t stop loving you overnight

I lost you piece by piece to what you chose

Verse 2

I used to worry if you were okay

Now I worry why I still stayed

You promised change like it was real

But words don’t heal what actions kill

I learned to smile while breaking down

While you were chasing another round

I tried to be your solid ground

But you kept sinkin’ and pulled me down

Pre-Chorus

I blamed myself for all your wrongs

Thought love meant holdin’ on this long

But love ain’t losin’ who you are

Tryin’ to fix somebody’s scars

Chorus

You cheated on my heart, then numbed the pain

Chose temporary highs over my name

I waited for you to come back clean

But you kept choosing everything but me

Now I look at you and I don’t feel us

Just scars where there used to be trust

I didn’t stop loving you overnight

I lost you piece by piece to what you chose

Bridge (Quiet, Honest)

I still hope you heal someday

Just not with me along the way

I forgive you, but I’m done

I can’t love who you’ve become

I miss the you before the lies

Before the pills, before the nights

But missing you don’t mean I stay

I finally chose myself today

Final Chorus (Stripped, Emotional)

You cheated on my soul, then lost control

And I can’t drown to save us both

I prayed for change, I begged for truth

But you were gone before I knew

Now I’m walkin’ away with tears and pride

I survived lovin’ you this time

I didn’t fail, I didn’t lose

I just let go of what you chose

Outro

If love ever comes back to you

I hope it’s clean, I hope it’s true

As for me, I’m learnin’ how

To love myself without you now
