From the album 'Pieces Of me'

lyrics

Gonna Choose Me

I catch myself checking my phone
Every five minutes
To see if you have found the time
To text me back

I never used to be this way
I was the cool, together girl

Yet here I am, in your hands
I have to remind myself

That you don’t get to decide if I’m happy
You do not determine my self-worth
You do not control the way I feel
I like you but I’m gonna choose me

I think about you all the time
I’m at your service
Hoping you’ll see how great I am
And that you’ll call me

Well I never thought I’d get this way
I was the independent girl

Now I’m reduced to a shadow of me
Reflected in your eyes

But you don’t get to decide if I’m happy
You do not determine my self-worth
You do not control the way I feel
I like you but I’m gonna choose me

Too many hours I’ve wasted
Waiting to be seen
I gave you all the power
But now it’s clear to me:

That you don’t get to decide if I’m happy
You do not determine my self-worth
You do not control the way I feel
I like you but I’m gonna choose me
