[Verse 1]
I set a place for you
At every table in my mind
Kept saving all my best words
For people who never arrived
Kept dialing dead numbers
Waiting on calls that never came
Gave chances like cheap liquor
Til I couldn’t taste my own name
[Chorus]
Now it’s me
And I’m all I got
And I like it
Yeah
I like it a lot
No more begging for a maybe
No more waiting to be saved
I finally learn to live
When I walk away
Now it’s me
And the quiet feels kind
I can hear
Every thought in my mind
No more bending just to break me
No more “sorry
I was late”
I finally learn to live
And it feels great
[Verse 2]
I packed up every promise
Left them on your kitchen floor
Took back my softest sweatshirt
Left the key
Locked my own door
Stopped scrolling through the highlight reels
Of people I don’t even know
Pulled my eyes off all their windows
Put ‘em on my own front row
[Chorus]
Now it’s me
And I’m all I got
And I like it
Yeah
I like it a lot
No more begging for a maybe
No more waiting to be saved
I finally learn to live
When I walk away
Now it’s me
And the quiet feels kind
I can hear
Every thought in my mind
No more shrinking just to fit in
No more choking back my rage
I finally learn to live
And turn the page
[Bridge]
Funny how the truth hits
Like sunlight through a cheap blind
I was busy trying to prove it
You were busy killing time
So I cancel every contract
I never really signed
I choose me
Choose me
Choose me
For the first time
[Chorus]
Now it’s me
And I’m all I got
And I like it
Yeah
I like it a lot
No more begging for a maybe
No more waiting to be saved
I finally learn to live
And I’m not afraid
Now it’s me
And the road’s so wide
Every scar
On my skin’s on my side
No more looking over shoulders
For a hand that never stayed
I finally learn to live
My own damn way
