I’m Choosing Me. ‪@GalaMusicCreations‬

[Verse 1] My heart is taken, there’s no room for you, I can’t come over, and I don’t want to. I’ve told you gently, I’ve told you before, But you keep leaving roses at my door. You say that someday I might change my mind, But I’m not leaving hidden signs to find. Please hear the words I’ve tried so hard to say: I don’t want love to start this way. [Pre-Chorus] Just thinking of it makes me hesitate, I won’t say yes and wish I’d walked away. I need some silence, need some room to breathe, A little time that belongs to me. [Chorus] I’d rather be alone than lose myself, Than put my peace upon somebody’s shelf. I want slow mornings, music in my room, A life where I have space enough to bloom. No, I don’t want somebody just to stay, If being loved means giving me away. My heart is taken, please let me be— Tonight I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me. [Verse 2] Love takes more than wanting someone near, It takes the time to listen and to hear. Two hearts should give, and both should have their say, Not one who takes while one gives more each day. I want a love where tenderness runs deep, Where both feel safe enough to fall asleep. But I won’t build a home on “maybe so,” Or take your hand when all I feel is no. [Pre-Chorus] I owe you honesty, and this is mine: I’m not ready for your heart in my life. Please don’t keep waiting for my no to bend, Some roads are never meant to blend. [Chorus] I’d rather be alone than lose myself, Than put my peace upon somebody’s shelf. I want slow mornings, music in my room, A life where I have space enough to bloom. No, I don’t want somebody just to stay, If being loved means giving me away. My heart is taken, please let me be— Tonight I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me. [Bridge] I’ll buy myself the flowers that I love, Watch evening skies turn gold above. Wear my favorite dress with nowhere to go, And learn the things I’ve wanted to know. If love comes someday, I will choose it too, With open eyes and something real and true. Until that day, I have a life to live, And so much love to give— To me. [Final Chorus] I’d rather be alone than lose my light, Than hold a hand that doesn’t feel quite right. I want slow mornings, laughter in my room, And all the little dreams I’ll follow through. No, I don’t need a promise made in haste, My quiet days are never days I waste. My heart is taken, please let me be— Today I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing me. [Outro] No more asking me to change my mind. I wish you love— But this life is mine.
