Option No More

Silent, I wear the tears you don't see

Echoes of promises, lost in the debris

You come home late, words drift like smoke

Treating love like it's just a joke

Forgiving over and over, climbing this hill of pain

Yet your shadow plays with my heart again

How many scars do I bear,

Waiting for a change that’s never there?

But still I linger in this doubt,

Hoping you'll find what you're searching for in me

You're treating me like an option, a game to be played

Leaving my heart broken, in the shadows of your lies fade

Forgiven not forgotten, I gave my love for free

But you betray again, treating me like I’m just a memory

I wear the pain like a second skin

Every apology, just another sin

You say you'll change but then you break the chain

Is this love or just a cruel game?

How many times do I bend,

My broken heart, will it ever mend?

I'm drowning in this hope, can’t let go,

Though every betrayal cuts me so deep

You're treating me like an option, a game to be played

Leaving my heart broken, in the shadows of your lies fade

Forgiven but forgotten, I gave my love for free

But you betray again, treating me like I’m just a memory

Maybe I deserve more than this

A love that’s real, not just a twist

But I’m still here, hoping you'll see

That I need your love, not indifference from thee

So I’ll walk away, to find my peace

No more forgiving, no more grief

Treat me like an option no more, I’ll set myself free

This time I choose to love me
