I Choose Me

Verse 1

Everybody wants a ride or die,

But nobody asks if I’m okay.

I want someone asking how my day went,

If I made it home safe on the way.

Someone checking in the morning light,

“Did you sleep good? How was your night?”

I shouldn’t have to beg for presence,

That’s the bare minimum, not a fight.

Pre-Chorus

I changed the way I looked at love

Just to make it easier for you.

Lowered my needs, quieted my heart,

Called it patience, called it “cool.”

Chorus

I’m done shrinking to fit your comfort zone,

I deserve a love that shows.

Not control, not silence, not ego,

But a heart that actually knows.

I’m not asking for too much,

I’m just asking for enough.

Every woman deserves a ride or die,

But first she deserves real love.

Verse 2

I go out and you get mad at me,

But don’t care if I get home safe.

If something happened, would you notice?

That’s not love, that’s just misplaced.

You never apologized when you were wrong,

Just waited for me to break.

I held us up on tired arms,

While you let pride lead the way.

Bridge

I won’t dim my light to keep you calm,

I won’t beg to be your choice.

A grown woman needs consistency,

Not excuses and a raised voice.

I’m choosing peace over potential,

Love that meets me where I stand.

If you can’t show up with intention,

You can’t hold this woman’s hand.

Final Chorus

I’m done shrinking to fit your comfort zone,

I deserve a love that grows.

One that checks in, one that protects me,

One that never leaves me cold.

I’m not asking for too much,

I’m just honoring my worth.

A ride or die starts with respect,

And I finally put me first.

Outro

So I walk away with my head high,

No regret, no apology.

I don’t want this anymore,

I want the love that chooses me.
