I Choose Myself

[Verse 1] I kept your name in a paper drawer With all the keys to a vanished door And all the almosts I couldn’t keep Still pace the hallways inside my sleep [Pre-Chorus] But I can’t live where the maybes stay I turn the latch, I let them fade [Chorus] Goodbye, loves I held too late Goodbye, hearts I couldn’t make You can’t walk this road for me I’ll carry what was kind and leave Goodbye, ghosts beside the way I choose myself; I’m here today [Verse 2] To the ones who never knew my name To the almost-summers, the unsent flame I bless the lives we didn’t begin Then take my hand and gather me in [Bridge] I was waiting to be chosen Now I’m learning how to stay [Final Chorus] Goodbye, loves I held too late Goodbye, hearts I couldn’t make You can’t walk this road for me I’ll carry what was kind and leave Goodbye, ghosts beside the way I choose myself; I’m here today [Outro] I choose myself I’m here today
