Verse 1 I kept my heart on standby, You said you needed time. But every time you pulled me close, You left me on the line. I tried to be your miracle, Tried to be your calmer tide, But you were busy lovin’ her While keepin’ me on the side. Pre-Chorus And I kept tellin’ myself, “Hold on, it’s gonna change…” But I’m done dimming my light just to fit in your frame. Chorus So I’m choosing myself first, Even if it hurts tonight. I’m breaking out of your shadows, Stepping back into my life. You can hold her, you can miss me, But I’m done fighting for space in your world. No more triangles, no more tangled lines— I choose myself first. Verse 2 You played your part so perfectly, Sweet words and midnight calls. But love is more than halfway truths And promises that fall. She thinks she’s got the whole of you— I thought the same before. But now I finally see the truth: You never knew love at all. Pre-Chorus And I kept tellin’ myself, “Maybe I’m what you’ll claim…” But you can’t build something real using someone else’s pain. Chorus So I’m choosing myself first, Even if it hurts tonight. I’m breaking out of your shadows, Stepping back into my life. You can hold her, you can miss me, But I’m done fighting for space in your world. No more triangles, no more tangled lines— I choose myself first. Bridge I won’t be the secret you keep in the dark, I won’t be the second choice holding your heart. I’m rising, I’m healing, I’m claiming my worth— I’m done loving someone who forgets what I’m worth. Final Chorus Yeah, I’m choosing myself first, And it feels like breathing again. I’m stronger now that I’m standing With both feet where love begins. Keep your chaos, keep your stories— I’m done being broken and blurred. No more triangles, no more wasted time— I choose myself first. Outro Yeah, I choose… I choose myself first.
