Lyrics
Selflessness was second nature
Selflessness was a natural part of my character.
But I gave too much
I gave too much of myself.
Recovered from the loss and
I recovered from the emotional pain.
I hope that our lives never touch
I hope our lives never intersect again.
I was blind in love
I was blind in love, unable to see flaws.
So forgiving of
I was forgiving of your mistakes.
Your sloppy mistakes
Your careless errors in judgment.
The mess that you made
The mess you created.
The man you portrayed
The persona you presented was far from your true self.
Is so far off from who you really are
I chose you despite the disparity from your true identity.
Still I chose you
I prioritized you over myself.
Over myself
Repeated: I chose you over myself.
Second chances given more than twice
I gave second chances more than twice.
Yet selfish you remained
Despite chances, you remained selfish.
My hopes were higher than the clouds above
My hopes were high, but they were not fulfilled.
But no starlight came
No positive outcome, just regret and blame.
Just regret and blame
Repeated: No starlight came.
Still I had no shame
Despite regrets, I felt no shame.
You pulled at my heart
You emotionally affected me.
We drifted apart
We grew apart.
I couldn’t restart
I couldn't start anew.
'Cause I believed that losing you meant losing me
I believed losing you meant losing myself.
So I chose you
Repeated: I chose you over myself.
Over myself
-Yeah, I chose you
-Over myself
-You underestimated my ability
You underestimated my ability to move on.
When you said I’d never move on
You doubted my capacity to heal.
I know it’s 'cause your sensitivity
Your sensitivity couldn't handle me being gone.
Couldn’t handle the image of me gone
You couldn't bear the thought of me leaving.
I know you much too well
I know you too well to want you back.
And I don’t want you
I don't desire to be with you.
Over myself
Repeated: I don't want you over myself.
