Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Yeah, I'm standin' right here, lookin' at this cracked mirror
Reflectin' on years I spent tryin' to make my feelin's clearer
You was my ride or die, or so I thought you were supposed to be
But loyalty ain't worth a dime when it don't come back to me
I poured my whole cup out, tried to fill up your empty space
Ignored the cold shoulder, the distant look upon your face
They told me to walk away, said "Girl, you're givin' all you got!"
But I held on to the promise, to the dream that time forgot.
(Pre-Chorus)
Used to think this was love, baby, the bittersweet kind of rain
Now I know the difference between the pleasure and the pain
'Cause this kind of loyalty? It became my heaviest chain.
(Chorus)
Oh, I was loyal, fiercely loyal, through the heartache and the storm
Built you a shelter with my heart, tried to keep your spirit warm
But you looked right past me, baby, treated my truth like a lie
You loved the comfort of my presence, but you never loved I
It's a heavy kind of burden, this beautiful, broken trust
A pain I carried for your sake, but I'm shakin' off the dust
This unloved loyalty? Never again, I'm tellin' you now
I’d rather walk this empty road than ever take that vow.
(Verse 2)
Remember late nights, you callin' me stressed out and low?
I was there in a minute, puttin' on my coat and ready to go
Dried your tears, fixed your crown, spoke life into your soul
While you kept my spirit waitin', deep in a dark hole
I kept my commitments, kept my words sacred and true
Waiting for the day you'd finally see the woman next to you
But that day ain't comin', the silence is my only sign
I wasted my good faith on a man who wasn't ever mine.
(Pre-Chorus)
Used to think this was love, baby, the bittersweet kind of rain
Now I know the difference between the pleasure and the pain
'Cause this kind of loyalty? It became my heaviest chain.
(Chorus)
Oh, I was loyal, fiercely loyal, through the heartache and the storm
Built you a shelter with my heart, tried to keep your spirit warm
But you looked right past me, baby, treated my truth like a lie
You loved the comfort of my presence, but you never loved I
It's a heavy kind of burden, this beautiful, broken trust
A pain I carried for your sake, but I'm shakin' off the dust
This unloved loyalty? Never again, I'm tellin' you now
I’d rather walk this empty road than ever take that vow.
(Bridge)
I ain't mad at the me that gave you everything, no
I'm just wiser than the fool who refused to let go
You gave me a lesson, wrote it on my heart in scar tissue
But my future ain't tied to the things that I'm gonna miss you...
(Outro)
Hear me now... I'm choosin' me over us
My love deserves better than crumbs, better than just lust
Go on, walk away, take your shadow with you when you leave
'Cause unloved loyalty is the last sorrow I'll ever weave.
(Ad-libs: Never again... No more... Walk away... Gotta choose me, baby...)
