You never chose me!

You Never Chose Me”

(Emotional R&B / Soul Ballad)

Verse 1

I don’t understand why you’re ignoring me,

No calls, no texts, no explanation I can see.

Especially after this morning,

When you looked in my eyes and everything felt right.

I waited all afternoon for your name on my phone,

Watching the hours pass by all alone.

Tell me what’s really going on, my dear,

Because this silence is louder than anything I hear.

Before you left, I prayed for you,

For your children, your home, and everything you’re going through.

Asked God to send angels to stand at your door,

To protect your heart and give you so much more.

Pre-Chorus

I loved you with honesty,

With no games and no disguise.

But now I’m staring at a stranger,

Wearing the face I used to recognize.

Chorus

Tell me why you can’t look me in the eyes,

And tell me goodbye instead of leaving me wondering why.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for you,

And maybe you weren’t supposed to love me too.

But somewhere between the laughter and the pain,

I started dreaming we’d become something greater someday.

Now I’m standing here with tears nobody sees,

Because I chose you…

But you never chose me.

⸻

Verse 2

I know you’ve made your decision now,

And maybe I’m just learning how

To let go of something I believed was real,

Even though this heartbreak is all I feel.

I thought we started as friends,

The kind of bond that wouldn’t end.

Now I can’t even get a simple reply,

And I don’t know how to say goodbye.

I keep wondering if she’s the reason why,

If you’re trying to make another love survive.

And if that’s true, I’ll step aside,

Because all I ever wanted was your happiness in life.

Pre-Chorus

I pray she’s someone who chooses you,

Not because you’re there when she needs a hand.

But because she sees your soul,

And loves the man you truly are.

Chorus

Tell me why you can’t look me in the eyes,

And tell me goodbye instead of leaving me wondering why.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for you,

And maybe you weren’t supposed to love me too.

But somewhere between the laughter and the pain,

I started dreaming we’d become something greater someday.

Now I’m standing here with tears nobody sees,

Because I chose you…

But you never chose me.

Bridge

Good morning for the third day in a row,

Still no answer, still no hello.

You said we’d talk when I got back home,

But now I’m left here standing alone.

You called me friend,

You called me more.

You opened my heart,

Then walked out the door.

I gave you pieces of me

That nobody else could touch.

And now I wonder if I ever meant

Half as much.

⸻

Final Chorus

How do you tell someone they matter,

Then disappear like they never existed?

How do you build a connection so deep,

Then leave without a word to finish it?

I know I’ll heal,

Because God is carrying me.

I know my worth,

And I know what love should be.

But tonight I’m crying over memories,

And all the things we could’ve been.

Because I chose you with my whole heart…

And you never chose me.

⸻

Outro

I still pray for you
