I’m Not Waiting Anymore

Verse 1
I used to sit by my phone
Like it meant something to me
Every silence felt loud
Like it said everything

I’d replay what I said
Pick apart every line
Try to figure out ways
To make you stay this time

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I was holding my breath
For something that never came

⸻

Chorus
But I’m not waiting anymore
Not standing at a closed door
Hoping someone might choose me
Who never really saw me

I’m done giving all I have
To something that won’t give back
I want something that meets me
Not something I have to chase

⸻

Verse 2
I made excuses for things
That didn’t feel right at all
Called it “timing” or “space”
Just to soften the fall

And maybe I wanted it
More than it wanted me
But I’m starting to see
That’s not what love should be

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I don’t have to convince
Someone to stay with me

⸻

Chorus
So I’m not waiting anymore
Not standing at a closed door
Hoping someone might choose me
Who never really saw me

I’m done shrinking myself
Just to be someone else
I want something that finds me
Not something I have to chase

⸻

Bridge (strong but calm)
If it’s real, it won’t feel like this
Like I’m begging just to exist
Like I’m always almost enough
But never quite it

⸻

Final Chorus (clear, grounded)
So I’m not waiting anymore
I’ve been here before
And I know what I deserve now
I don’t need to prove it

I’ll find something that stays
Something that feels the same
And I won’t have to question
If I’m too much to be loved that way
