[VERSE 1] Girls, hear me with your spirit, not your ears— don’t stay in rooms that dim your light. Don’t shrink your voice to fit their comfort. Don’t pour your heart into hands that never learned how to hold you right. [PRE-CHORUS] I stayed too long, held on too tight, waited for love that never learned how to love me back. [CHORUS] Don’t stay where you’re not wanted. Don’t beg to feel chosen. Don’t waste your years hoping someone becomes the person they should’ve been from the start. Choose yourself. Walk away. Your heart deserves a place where it doesn’t have to ask permission to exist. [BRIDGE] Time is the one thing you can’t reclaim. Don’t give it to people who only love the version of you that doesn’t speak. [OUTRO] You only get one life. Don’t spend it begging to feel wanted.
