I CHOOSE ME

[Intro — whispered]

Okay…
You don't choose me.
I accept it.

And I won't chase you anymore.

---

[Verse 1]

I won't search for meaning
inside your silence.
I won't count the glances
from the corner of my eye.

I won't look behind me
to see if you turned around,
or wonder if your eyes stayed
one second longer than they should.

I won't turn your absence
into another mystery.
I won't learn another language
just to understand your silence.

Because somewhere deep inside,
I already knew—

You weren't coming.

---

[Pre-Chorus]

And yes, it hurts.
Because I loved you.
I loved you so deeply
that for a little while
I forgot—

Love isn't a chase.

---

[Chorus]

You don't choose me.
Okay.
I won't chase you anymore.

I won't wait
outside your door
hoping you'll open it for me.

You don't choose me.
Okay.
I won't chase you anymore.

And if your door closes,
I'll find another way.

For the first time—
I choose me.

Because I haven't yet forgot what love's all about 
---

[Verse 2]

It's not one person running
while the other walks away.

It's not one step toward me
While the other takes two steps back.

It's not me proving
that I'm worthy of you staying,
making myself smaller
just to fit inside your life.

I'm tired of holding
the door open
with both my hands
while you're push closing it
from the other side.

And no—
I didn't stop loving you.

I simply stopped abandoning myself
just to keep me from losing you.

I shouldn't have to but you choosing this for us.

So okay 
I won't chase you anymore. 
---

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And if someday
you turn around,
maybe I won't be there.

Not because
I wasn't waiting for you to return.

But because—

I turned forward where I was heading.

---

[Chorus]

You don't choose me.
Okay.
I won't chase you anymore.

I won't read the signs
written in the air.
I won't wait
for silence to change.

You don't choose me.
Okay.
I won't chase you anymore.

And if your road
moves away from mine—

I'll keep walking.
I'll keep walking.

I choose me.

---

[Bridge — stripped back]

All this time
I thought I was waiting for you.

But maybe—
I was waiting for me.

To stop inviting you. 
To stop letting you occupy space I was never sure you ever claimed

Waiting to stop asking
for a place inside somebody else's home.

Waiting to stop becoming smaller
just to belong.

Waiting to stop looking behind me
to see if you came back.

Because the road
didn't end
when your door closed.

There were other roads.

Other rooms.

Other people.

Other versions of me
waiting to be discovered.

And now—

I take all the love
I carried for you
and I don't throw it away.

I don't deny it.

I won't force it out.
I'll learn how. 
I'll give it back to myself.

---

[Final Chorus — full, expansive]

You don't choose me.
Okay.

And now—
I'm okay.

I won't chase you anymore.

I won't wait for a glance.
I won't wait for a message.
I won't wait for a sign.

You don't choose me.
Okay.
That's the sign.

And if your door closes—
I'll find another way, for me to be.

And if your road
moves far away from mine—

I'll walk my own way.

You don't have to choose me, anymore.

You don't have to come back.

Because for the first time—

I choose me.

---

[Outro — almost whispered]

It's not giving up.

It's not defeat.

It's not that
I never loved you.

It's a return.

A return to me.

Okay.

I choose me.
