I gave my heart away for free,
Built a home where I couldn’t breathe.
Called it love, called it fate,
Stayed too long, accepted pain.
Every promise, every scar,
Pulled me farther from who I was.
I wore your storms like they were mine,
Lost myself one day at a time.
I never chose what I needed,
Only what my heart believed in.
Every high was temporary,
Every “forever” disappeared with the morning.
I was standing on the edge,
Thinking there was nothing left.
Couldn’t see beyond the night,
Couldn’t find a reason why.
Then a whisper broke the silence,
“You deserve another sunrise.”
I stopped chasing someone else’s dream,
And for the first time…
I chose me.
Now I’m breathing, now I’m free,
Finding every piece of me.
Love should never make you bleed—
I finally chose what I need.
I thought saving you was living,
Never knew what I was giving.
Every tear became my own,
While my heart turned into stone.
I kept waiting for the day
You would love me the same way.
But I learned the hardest truth:
I can’t lose myself for you.
Every goodbye made me stronger,
Every night didn’t last forever.
Pain can stay for just a season,
But hope keeps giving us a reason.
Hands that shake can still keep holding,
Broken hearts can still keep growing.
Even ashes learn to fly,
Even darkness meets the light.
I was standing on the edge,
Thinking there was nothing left.
Now I see beyond the night,
Now I found a reason why.
Every scar became a story,
Every tear became my glory.
I won’t disappear to make someone stay,
I won’t throw my soul away.
What I wanted couldn’t heal me,
What I needed was already in me.
No more living just to survive…
Tonight…
I choose hope.
I choose life.
I choose me.
If tomorrow feels too far away,
Just hold on through one more day.
The heart you thought was gone can beat again…
And this is where my life begins.
