[Intro]
Yeah
You had your chances
I kept handing you the match
Now watch me walk away with the whole fire
[Verse 1]
I moved my plans so your plans could breathe
Put your name first, forgot about me
Made excuses for the empty chair
Told my own heart, maybe he’ll get there
Every promise came dressed brand new
Same old ending, me waiting on you
I asked for love, you handed me blame
Called me delusional for naming the game
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I mattered, but never made room
Left me alone in a crowded room
I kept shrinking just to fit your life
Now I’m taking back every inch tonight
[Chorus]
I’m done begging you to put me first
Done making excuses for the worst
You said I’m crazy, said I don’t matter
Now hear my footsteps getting louder
I gave you chances, you gave me doubt
Built me a cage, I’m breaking out
No more tears for a love so small
I choose myself, that’s all, that’s all
[Verse 2]
You liked me quiet, easy to ignore
Till I found my voice and unlocked the door
I was the backup, never the choice
Now the whole room knows the sound of my voice
You called it drama when I drew a line
Called it delusion when I claimed what was mine
Funny how truth makes cowards defensive
Your cold little verdict lost its effectiveness
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I mattered, but never showed proof
Left me explaining what you already knew
I kept bending till my backbone cracked
Now every piece of me is coming back
[Chorus]
I’m done begging you to put me first
Done making excuses for the worst
You said I’m crazy, said I don’t matter
Now hear my footsteps getting louder
I gave you chances, you gave me doubt
Built me a cage, I’m breaking out
No more tears for a love so small
I choose myself, that’s all, that’s all
[Bridge]
Don’t call my phone when the silence gets heavy
Don’t say you changed when you’re only unsteady
I know the difference between sorry and scared
You miss the access, not the woman who cared
[Final Chorus]
I’m done begging you to put me first
Done letting your neglect become my curse
You said I’m crazy, said I don’t matter
Now I’m the one making the whole room shatter
I gave you chances, I gave you time
You gave me reasons to draw this line
No more tears for a love so small
I choose myself, that’s all, that’s all
[Outro]
First place was never too much to ask
You just never wanted to give it
I’m done
