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
