[Verse 1]
Took the train to my first real desk
Badge on my coat, and my name felt blessed
I was counting every step I climbed
Doing what I love, first time in my life
You said you were proud, said you held me down
But your phone kept buzzing when you came around
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the truth in your same old grin
Empty pockets, dirty lies, same old sin
I been building, you been fading out
Now I hear the silence when you talk so loud
[Chorus]
I know what I need
I know what I need
I won't beg, won't plead
I know what I need
You broke that trust
You broke that trust
I choose me now
I choose me now
[Verse 2]
Late rent note on the table again
While your jacket smelled like somebody else in
You said "baby, wait" with a face too calm
But your love came cheap and your hands came wrong
I got a dream with my name in lights
You got a lie that you feed each night
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the cracks where your promise ran
I am not the girl who will save a man
My heart got tired of the same old game
Your apology don't know my name
[Chorus]
I know what I need
I know what I need
I won't beg, won't plead
I know what I need
You broke that trust
You broke that trust
I choose me now
I choose me now
[Bridge]
I can hear my own voice now
Clear as rain on a windowsill
I don't need your half-made vows
I got a future that I can fill
If you want me, show me change
If you can't, then stay away
[Final Chorus]
I know what I need
I know what I need
I won't beg, won't plead
I know what I need
You broke that trust
You broke that trust
I choose me now
I choose me now
