I used to read between your "hey" and your silence

Making little meanings out of nothing at all

You had her name in your mouth, mine in your eyelids

Like maybe if I waited, you would finally fall

I knew the story, still I stayed for the ending

Acting like the almost was enough for my heart

You kept me close enough to feel like a blessing

But far enough to never call me yours in the dark

And I won't blame her, she didn't steal you

You were never mine to lose

But I can't keep standing here

Hoping you'll tell me the truth

I'm done with the sidelines

Done being your almost, your maybe, your next time

If you wanted me, you'd run to me in real life

Not only when the moonlight makes you lonely

I'm done with the sidelines

Done watching you love her while looking in my eyes

I was waiting for a sign, but I lost time

Now I don't need you to choose me, I choose me tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I choose me tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh

No more sidelines

You made it easy to believe there was something

All those little moments that you never explained

I dressed up pretty just to sit there pretending

Like I wasn't breaking every time that she came

And maybe one day you'll wake up and you'll miss me

Maybe one day you'll remember my name

But I won't be the girl in the corner still wishing

I'm already gone by the time you feel the flame

And I won't hate you, but I won't wait too

I gave you more than you knew

Now I'm taking back the love that I kept saving for you

I'm done with the sidelines

Done being your almost, your maybe, your next time

If you wanted me, you'd run to me in real life

Not only when the moonlight makes you lonely

I'm done with the sidelines

Done watching you love her while looking in my eyes

I was waiting for a sign, but I lost time

Now I don't need you to choose me, I choose me tonight

Keep your what-ifs, keep your not yet

Keep the part of me you never met

I was soft for you, I was lost in you

But I'm not that girl you can forget

No more waiting, no more saving

All my love for somebody taking

If I'm not the one you run to, I'm the one you lose

I'm done with the sidelines

Done being your almost, your maybe, your next time

If you wanted me, you'd run to me in real life

Not only when the moonlight makes you lonely

I'm done with the sidelines

Done watching you love her while looking in my eyes

I was waiting for a sign, but I lost time

Now I don't need you to choose me, I choose me tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I choose me tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh

No more sidelines

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to decide

I choose me tonight
