Lipstick on the Goodbye Letter

I read the last message under city light

Three little words and days to burn bright

You said it made me something, maybe not tonight

But I felt the weight between every line

I used to fold myself into your doubt

Hoping love could pull the silence out

Now I see what I was trying not to see

A hand, a helmet never really held me free

I'm choosing me

All for one more chance

Over another broken prince, another half-dance

You can keep the coast of what we used to be

I'm walkin' away with my dignity

No, I won't wait for your heart to decide

I got a quiet power on my side

I loved you deep, but I love me more tonight

I'm choosing me, and I'll be alright

I set your name down like a glass of wine

Let that memory sting, then I let it unwind

Every apology that came too late

Couldn't change the shape of what you made

I used to call it patience, call it faith

But I was only losing my own shape

Now my shadow feels like it belongs to me

And the mirror's teaching me what I can be

I'm choosing me, go for one more chance

Over another broken promise, another half dance

You can keep the ghost of what we used to be

I'm walking away with my dignity

Now I won't wait for your heart to decide

I gotta acquire your power on the sky

I loved you deep, but I love me more tonight

Come choose me, and I'll be alright

If you look back, you'll see me gone

Not angry, not shattered, just moving on

Midnight glow on my skin like coal

I leave the ache, I keep my soul

I'm choosing me over one more chance

Over another broken promise, another high as tennis

We can keep the ghost of what we used to be

I'm looking away on my dignity

No, I won't wait for your heart to decide

I got acquired, you're powered on my side

I loved you deep, but I love me more to mind

I'm choosing me, and I'll be alright
