[Verse 1] Tell me why love feels like a battle every
time I try… I give you truth, I give you loyalty, but you stay on standby. You say you feel somethin’,
baby, but somethin’ ain’t right— If your heart still wanderin’, why you keep me in your sight?
[Pre-Chorus] I’ve been patient, steady waitin’, Tryna meet you halfway… But you leave me guessin’,
second-guessin’, Every word you say… [Chorus — Performance Version] I won’t keep my heaaaart
on hooold— (No more, no more—yeah!) ‘Cause real love shouldn’t make me question what I already
know. I want a love that meets me—GREETS me— Right where I stand! (right where I stand!) Not
someone who’s halfway in, tryna hold my hand. And love gets heavy—SO heavy! When I’m carryin’
what ain’t mine to carry no more (no more!). If you want me, then show me with actions not words—
‘Cause I’m done keepin’ score! (yeahhh!) I won’t put my heaaaart— MY HEEEART— ON STOOOOOP!
(I choose me—yeahhh!) [Verse 2] I’ve been holdin’ on to everything you say to me… Tryna trust you,
tryna love you, but your actions disagree. You say you’re scared of losin’ me, but fear don’t build love—
You gotta give the real thing, not pieces of what you’re scared of. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been tryin’, I’ve
been tryin’, Not to walk away from this… But every time I open up, you close up— Baby how we grow
like this? [Bridge — Big Vocals] Say what you need, or let me go— (LET ME GOOOO!) I can’t waste
my tears on “I don’t know”! If you love me, then baby CLAIM me— Claim me! (Claim me baby!) And if
you don’t… set me free… My heart deserves someone who loves me fearlessly— FEARLESSLYYYY!
[Final Chorus — Full Belting Version] I won’t keep my heaaaart on hooold— (No more! No more!)
Ain’t no love worth losin’ myself or my soul. I want a love that lifts me, holds me, Sees me for who I am!
(who I am!) Not confusion, not illusion, not a halfway man. And love gets heavy—SO heavy! But I won’t
carry what ain’t mine anymore (I won’t!). If you want me, then show me, with actions that roar— Show
me somethin’ real I can stand for! I won’t put my heaaaart— MY HEEEART— ON STOOOOP! (I
choose me—ohhh I choose me!)
