[Intro]
I wrote my name on the reservation
No waiting room, no explanation
[Verse 1]
Keys in my hand, coffee going cold
I made my plan, now I watch it unfold
Booked that train with a window seat
Bought my own flowers, picked the color I need
You can walk in, but you can't take the wheel
I know the difference between pretty and real
No rescue story, no prince in the frame
I built this life and I signed my own name
[Pre-Chorus]
I like your company, but hear me clear
I don't lose myself when you disappear
My circle stands, my future's wide
I bring my own fire, I don't need a guide
[Chorus]
I don't need a man to make me whole
I got my own keys, my own control
I choose who stays, I choose who goes
I am the answer, everybody knows
Independent, hands up, no permission
My life, my rules, my decision
Love is a choice, not a lifeline
I can want you and still be mine
[Verse 2 - Rap]
Check the receipt, yeah, I paid that bill
Signed that lease, got a mountain to build
No borrowed crown, no borrowed lane
I turn a closed door into a different game
Schedule packed, but my heart stays light
I take myself out on a Friday night
If you ride beside me, better match my pace
Don't bring a leash to a woman with a suitcase
I learned my worth in the quiet alone
Turned every doubt into bricks for a home
Not cold, not bitter, just clear in my view
I don't need saving, but I might choose you
[Pre-Chorus]
I like your company, but hear me clear
I don't lose myself when you disappear
My circle stands, my future's wide
I bring my own fire, I don't need a guide
[Chorus]
I don't need a man to make me whole
I got my own keys, my own control
I choose who stays, I choose who goes
I am the answer, everybody knows
Independent, hands up, no permission
My life, my rules, my decision
Love is a choice, not a lifeline
I can want you and still be mine
[Bridge]
If you love me, love the woman I am
Not a smaller version shaped by your hands
I won't shrink my dreams to fit your design
Stand next to me, don't stand on my shine
[Final Chorus]
I don't need a man to make me whole
I got my own keys, my own control
I choose who stays, I choose who goes
I am the answer, everybody knows
Independent, hands up, no permission
My life, my rules, my decision
Love is a choice, not a lifeline
I can want you and still be mine
[Outro]
Still be mine
Own my name, own my time
Still be mine
I can love you and still be mine
