The Choice Is Mine
Embracing Choices: A'Myah Gill's Reflective Journey in 'The Choice Is Mine'
Lyrics
I know we're locked in
I acknowledge that we are in a difficult situation or relationship.
But that won't stop the thoughts when they come rushing in
Despite being locked in, my thoughts still overwhelm me.
And that's my problem
I recognize this as my own issue or challenge.
I know myself I'm checking out
I am aware of my tendency to emotionally withdraw or disengage.
And you'll be stuck doing this with only half of me
You will be dealing with only a partial, incomplete version of me.
And I can't let that be
I cannot accept that outcome; I need to change it.
Cause I said I never will
I made a commitment that I now regret.
And I can't take it back
I cannot retract or undo what I have said.
My words made a done deal
My words have sealed a definitive agreement or situation.
I was always worried that
I always feared saying something that could cause you to leave.
I'd say the wrong thing and you'd leave
I was afraid of uttering the wrong words and you abandoning me.
And there won't be a single thing I could do to change your mind
Even if I change my mind, there's nothing I can do to sway you.
Even if I change mine
My change of heart won't impact your decision.
Can't put that on you
I won't burden you with the responsibility of my choices.
The choice is mine
I have the power to decide and control the situation.
Catching myself prepping for when you're gone
I find myself preparing for the inevitability of your departure.
Don't sit up there and tell me that's not wrong
It is wrong to assume that preparing for separation is acceptable.
So promise me when I get back
Before I leave, promise me that you won't still be waiting for me.
You won't still be there we should keep this fair
To maintain fairness, you shouldn't be there when I return.
Cause I don't want to see you hurt
I don't want to see you in pain or suffering.
And I can only see me putting out a flame
I can only visualize myself causing harm or ending our relationship.
And turning us to smoke
Our relationship may dissolve into nothingness.
And I said I never will
I made a commitment that I now regret.
And I can't take it back
I cannot retract or undo what I have said.
My words made a done deal
My words have sealed a definitive agreement or situation.
I was always worried that
I always feared saying something that could cause you to leave.
I'd say the wrong thing and you'd leave
I was afraid of uttering the wrong words and you abandoning me.
And there won't be a single thing I could do to change your mind
Even if I change my mind, there's nothing I can do to sway you.
Even if I change mine
My change of heart won't impact your decision.
Can't put that on you
I won't burden you with the responsibility of my choices.
The choice is mine
I have the power to decide and control the situation.
The choice is mine
I have the authority to make decisions in this situation.
Can't put that on you the choice is mine
I won't place the responsibility of my choices on you; it's mine to make.
The choice is mine
I have the authority to make decisions in this situation.
Can't put that on you the choice is mine
I won't place the responsibility of my choices on you; it's mine to make.
