There’s a version of me I finally left behind, She kept losing herself just to keep love alive. Said “I’m fine” while her whole heart begged her to leave, Gave everybody grace but saved nothing for me. She confused being needed with being enough, Called the pain loyalty, called the damage love. I don’t blame that girl—she did what she knew, But I know better now… And I’ve got something to prove. [PRE-CHORUS] I won’t beg for a place Where I’m barely allowed. I won’t silence my heart Just to keep you around. [CHORUS — HARD BEAT DROP] I won’t lose myself again Trying to make somebody stay. I won’t break my own heart Just to love yours the same. I choose my heart! I choose my peace! I choose the woman I fought to be! If loving you means losing me— Then leaving you is how I’m free! I know better now… I won’t lose myself again. [VERSE 2] Now I listen when something inside me says “go,” I don’t stay for the person you might become. I don’t chase explanations or fight to be heard— When your actions speak clearly, I believe them—not words. I stopped lowering my standards to soften your fall, Stopped answering people who gave nothing at all. I can love you deeply and still close the door, Because loving myself Means accepting no more. [PRE-CHORUS] I’m not hard to love— You were careless with me. Now the woman I am Protects who I used to be. [CHORUS — BIGGER] I won’t lose myself again Trying to make somebody stay. I won’t break my own heart Just to love yours the same. I choose my heart! I choose my peace! I choose the woman I fought to be! If loving you means losing me— Then leaving you is how I’m free! I know better now… I won’t lose myself again. [BRIDGE — BEAT PULLS BACK] To the girl who stayed too long— You were never weak. You were surviving on the love You thought you had to need. But look at us now— We don’t live on our knees. We became the safe place Nobody knew how to be. [BUILD] Now I know better! I choose differently! No more disappearing For somebody to love me! Found my voice! Found my strength! Found the woman I almost gave away! [FINAL CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE] I won’t lose myself again Trying to make somebody stay! I crossed that fire and found the strength To finally walk away! I choose my heart! I choose my peace! Nobody takes that away from me! If loving you means losing me— Then I will always choose me! I know my worth! I know my name! I’m not the woman I used to blame! I know better now… And I won’t lose myself again!
