[INTRO | WARPED CALLIOPE | LOW HUM] You chose. So did I. [VERSE 1] Maybe her table looked fuller. Mine looked like a risk. You counted what was there. Never saw what could exist. I was building from the dirt. You wanted finished walls. You couldn’t see the vision. That’s not my loss. [PRE-CHORUS] You made your decision. I won’t make you choose. But every choice comes with what you lose. [CHORUS] Don’t come looking when you see where I land. Don’t find my worth when the world knows who I am. You had me in the building stage. Before the lights. Before the name. If I wasn’t enough then, don’t want me when that changes. You chose yours. I choose mine. I choose me. Every fucking time. [VERSE 2] Now you’re reaching back from where you chose to stay. Keeping one foot there, still looking my way. No. I’m not your hidden option. Not your almost. Not your spare. You picked your place. Stay there. [PRE-CHORUS] You made your decision. I finally made mine. You don’t get future me because you miss what you left behind. [CHORUS] Don’t come looking when you see where I land. Don’t find my worth when the world knows who I am. You had me in the building stage. Before the lights. Before the name. If I wasn’t enough then, don’t want me when that changes. You chose yours. I choose mine. I choose me. Every fucking time. [VERSE 3 | COLD BUILD] I used to wonder what she had that I didn’t. Wrong question. I was still asking to be picked. Keep what you chose. I’m done keeping score. I stopped waiting at somebody else’s door. You didn’t choose me. Fine. I finally did. [BRIDGE | STRIPPED | HEARTBEAT] Maybe I make it. Maybe I don’t. That was never the point. My worth doesn’t start when you notice it. I needed somebody to bet on me. I did. [BUILD | DISTORTED CALLIOPE RISING] If the lights get brighter, if my name gets loud, don’t confuse wanting me then with choosing me now. You didn’t lose me when I made it. You lost me when you couldn’t see me before I did. [FINAL CHORUS | FULL IMPACT] Don’t come looking when you see where I land. You had your chance to know who I am. You had me in the building stage. No spotlight. No name. You made your decision. I made mine. No backup. No rewind. I choose me. Every. Fucking. Time. [OUTRO | DETUNED CALLIOPE | CLOSE VOCAL] You see the vision now? Good. Admission’s closed.
