Choosing Me Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wore my heart out Like an old church coat Gave you my last yes While you gave me hope I read your silence Like it was a sign But I was begging For a love that wasn’t mine [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the waiting Tired of the ache Tired of handing over What you don’t appreciate My name been hurting In your careless mouth Now I’m pulling back my light I’m turning out [Chorus] I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) I’m choosing me now I’m done with the lonely crowd I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) If you can’t love me right You can watch me walk out [Verse 2] I used to bend low Just to fit your frame Smiled through the bruises Answered when you called my name But love ain’t begging Love don’t leave you cold Love don’t make you smaller Just to keep control [Pre-Chorus] So let the door stay swinging Let the bridge burn slow I got my own heartbeat And baby, that’s the road I’m done explaining What you should have seen I’m picking up my pieces And they all got me [Chorus] I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) I’m choosing me now I’m done with the lonely crowd I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) If you can’t love me right You can watch me walk out [Bridge] I prayed for a rescue Then I heard my own name Soft but steady Rising through the rain I don’t need permission To protect my soul I was lost in your shadow Now I want my whole [Final Chorus] I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) I’m choosing me now I’m done with the lonely crowd I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) If you can’t love me right You can watch me walk out I’m choosing me now (choosing me now) Yeah, I’m loving me loud And I’m never looking back
