I choose me

Verse 1

I’m a hopeless romantic in a world always asking what I’m doing later.

They want the picture, the body, the night—never the heart that holds it together.

I ignored the red flags—

The ones that kept me up at night,

Wondering if I was really the one you were seeing.

You called me up, said I was the only…

But I knew you were plating up dinner for your ex.

“We’re just friends,” you cried to my face—

But the truth was always deeper than your words.

I told you how I felt, but you twisted it back.

I was always the villain for just speaking facts.

You fought and, I came in peace—

Pre chorus

I tried to save the little we had left,

But every fix just cost me breath.

And piece by piece, I watched myself disappear,

Chorus

I’m not a body you borrow when you’re bored.

But I’m the reason someone stays when it storms.

I believe in more than sparks that fade by morning—

I was built for rare.

I was made for real.

Than settle for a world that forgot how to mean it.

Verse 2

It hit me in that coffee shop my best mate by my side,

She said, “If you go back… I don’t know if you’ll survive.”

We wrote the message that ended it all

And in that moment, I finally understood…

I saw my worth, no more settling for less.

I left the wreckage and started to mend the mess.

Drowning in debt, no hope in sight

But now I’ve got savings and I sleep at night

I don’t chase love to fill a space—

I found my joy, I found my space.

They don’t get access,

I shrunk myself once… but never anymore.

Chorus

I’m not a body you borrow when you’re bored.

But I’m the reason someone stays when it storms.

I believe in more than sparks that fade by morning—

I was built for rare.

I was made for real.

Than settle for a world that forgot how to mean it.

Bridge

I used to think love meant losing myself.

But healing taught me how to hold on without letting go of me.

If I ever forget this peace I’ve found-

Let me be reminded of what it cost to be free.

chorus

I’m not waiting to be chosen—I choose me.

I’m not asking to be loved—I already am, complete.

I’ve learned to stand where I once disappeared.

Built my peace from all the noise I used to fear.

I don’t chase flames that die by morning
