I'm Done

I gave you everything I had

Every heartbeat every chance

You left me standing in the quiet

Holding pieces of a past

I tried to love you through the distance

Tried to bend until I broke

But loving you was just a promise

You were never gonna hold

And I kept holding on

But it never felt like home

Now I finally hear the truth

I'm better on my own

I'm done with waiting for a love that never came

I'm done with drowning in the echoes of your name

I cleaned the shadows out of every room I breathe

I'm done I choose me I choose me

No more begging for a heart that wouldn't stay

No more breaking just to keep you from the pain

I'm walking out of what we'll never be

I'm done I choose me

You never noticed when I faded

When my light was burning thin

You only cared when you were lonely

Only held me when it fit

But I'm not shrinking for your comfort

Not your second-place relief

I'm learning how to love the person

You kept telling me to be

Every tear I cried

Led me right back to the truth

I lost myself in loving you

Now I'm finding something new

I'm done with waiting for a love that never came

I'm done with drowning in the echoes of your name

I cleaned the shadows out of every room I breathe

I'm done I choose me I choose me

No more begging for a heart that wouldn't stay

No more breaking just to keep you from the pain

I'm walking out of what we'll never be

I'm done I choose me

No turning back no second tries

No more forgiving all your lies

I'm taking back the parts of me

I left behind in sacrifice

If loving you meant losing me

Then losing you is finally free

I'm done with waiting for a love that never came

I'm done with drowning in the echoes of your name
