EN

I stood in your shadow Waiting my turn Hoping someday You'd finally learn You held my heart Like it wasn't yours Like loving me Was something you couldn't afford I kept believing You would see What you meant To me I won't beg you to choose me anymore I won't stay where I'm unsure If I'm not your first, I won't be your maybe I need something real, not just lately So tonight I set you free Yeah tonight I choose me It hurts, but now I see Loving you was losing me I learned your silence Line by line Every I'm fine Was a quiet goodbye You didn't break me All at once You let me fall Little by little, piece by piece Now I see it Crystal clear You were never Really here I won't beg you to choose me anymore I won't stay where I'm unsure If I'm not your first, I won't be your maybe I need something real, not just lately So tonight I set you free Yeah tonight I choose me It hurts, but now I see Loving you was losing me And tonight I do this for myself For the first time I choose my health I let go Of what's not mine I stop holding What I can't define I won't beg you to choose me anymore I'm done knocking on your door If I'm not your first, I won't be your maybe I need something real, not just lately So tonight I set you free Yeah tonight I choose me Even if it breaks me slowly At least I'm finally me Tonight I did myself a favor I finally let you go
