[Intro]
Standing tall, walls are high, shadows cast on my past
Invisible to most, but here I stand, at last
[Verse 1]
I've been the second choice, time and time again
They walk away, find something new, repeat the cycle then
Carry scars, unseen wounds, buried deep inside
Longing to be seen, to be loved, to break free from my pride
[Pre-Chorus]
I've built my fortress, learned to fight alone
No more walking in shadows, I’ve grown from stone
But sometimes I wonder, what it’s like to be wanted
To be the first, to be the one they choose, undaunted
[Chorus]
I wanna be somebody’s first choice, their shining light
Not just a backup story, in the quiet night
Standing strong and proud, no more hiding away
Finally knowing my worth, I’m here to stay
[Verse 2]
I’ve relied on myself, learned to stand on my own
Trust is fragile, wounds are deep, seeds I've sown
But I still crave connection, a love that’s true
To feel wanted, to be cherished, to start anew
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve shattered my defenses, let my guard fall down
Hope glimmers like dawn, breaking through the night’s drown
Yet I’m scared of the ache, of feeling dismissed
But I’m ready to claim, that I deserve bliss
[Chorus]
I wanna be somebody’s first choice, their shining light
Not just a backup story, in the quiet night
Standing strong and proud, no more hiding away
Finally knowing my worth, I’m here to stay
[Bridge]
No more walking on eggshells, no more disguise
I’ve found my strength, I’ve opened my eyes
To love myself, first and foremost
Gonna rise above, no longer coast
[Outro]
So here I stand, now fully alive
Ready for love, to truly thrive
I am enough, I am the prize
Finally free from my disguise
