Prompt:

Verse 1 I loved you with my eyes closed Trusted every word you said Built a home inside my chest While you were somewhere else instead I tried to speak, you didn’t hear me I cried quiet just to stay I kept forgiving all the damage Hoping love would make you change Pre-Chorus I don’t regret the way I loved you I regret the way I stayed I kept bending for your comfort While I slowly broke in place Chorus I gotta choose me, even though it hurts Even though my heart still reaches for you first You took my love and left me bleeding truth So I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me Over you Verse 2 I don’t hate you, I still care I don’t wanna see you fall I just can’t keep letting you Be the reason that I’m small We can share the same four walls now But we can’t share the same love I need space to feel like myself Without your weight on my lungs Pre-Chorus 2 You’ll have your room, I’ll have my silence No late nights, no what-ifs I’m done explaining how you hurt me I’m done begging you to listen Chorus I gotta choose me, even though it hurts Even though I still see us when it’s dark You crossed the lines, you broke the truth So I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me Over you Bridge (half-time, stripped) I loved you pure, I loved you real You loved me when it felt convenient I tried to heal us with my heart But that was never enough, was it? I wish you well, I mean that shit I just can’t drown to keep you afloat So I’m letting go… Even though it’s killing me the most Final Chorus I choose me, yeah I have to now I can’t keep bleeding just to keep you around I’ll always care, but I’m done being used So I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me Over you Outro Same house, different lives No more tears, no more fights I loved you once, that’s the truth Now I’m choosing me… Over you
