[Verse 1] I don't see why the things you do or say Seem okay to you I don't want you to hate me But I don't wanna hate myself for you [Pre-Chorus] I've been folding up my heart Just to keep us from falling apart But every promise leaves a bruise And I am running out of room [Chorus] I don't wanna be torn apart Just for a boy I'm sitting here crying on the floor For a boy I'm begging for a light from God To save me from this ache I don't wanna hurt no more But I don't wanna lose you [Verse 2] Your silence has a shape tonight It sits beside me in the hall I keep defending every side of you While I disappear beneath it all [Pre-Chorus] I've been making myself small So your love won't feel too far But if staying means I can't be me Then leaving is the mercy I need [Chorus] I don't wanna be torn apart Just for a boy I'm sitting here crying on the floor For a boy I'm begging for a light from God To save me from this ache I don't wanna hurt no more But I don't wanna lose you [Bridge] I gotta choose It's me or you, boy I gotta choose Even with my hands still shaking I gotta choose Before there's nothing left to save [Final Chorus] I don't wanna be torn apart Just for a boy I'm sitting here crying on the floor For a boy I'm begging for a light from God To save me from this ache I don't wanna hurt no more But I don't wanna lose you [Outro] And I think I'm gonna choose me I'm gonna choose me today Even if my voice breaks I'm gonna choose me today
