MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

### Verse 1

I didn't come this far through heartbreak and hard lessons
To stand in the shadows waiting for scraps of affection
I've weathered too many lonely seasons
To settle for half-hearted attention

You call when the night gets heavy on your shoulders
Disappear when daylight starts making demands
Leaving me guessing where I stand in your world
While you keep holding all the cards in your hands

Well, baby, I'm not that woman anymore
The one who accepted whatever she could get
I've learned my worth through tears and trial
And I ain't forgotten it yet

### Chorus

Choose me or walk away
Don't keep me hanging between hope and goodbye
Choose me or walk away
I'm too grown to keep asking why

If your heart belongs beside me
Then stand here and let it be known
But if you're only passing through my life

Choose me...

Or leave me alone

### Verse 2

I've watched too many women lose themselves
Trying to become somebody else's convenience
Shrinking their dreams, swallowing their truth
Calling confusion love and calling absence commitment

That ain't the road I'm traveling now
I know exactly what my spirit requires
Consistency, honesty, intention
Not empty sparks that fade like tired fires

I deserve a man who arrives with certainty
Not one forever standing halfway out the door
I've survived enough disappointment already
I don't need another ounce more

### Chorus

Choose me or walk away
Don't keep me hanging between hope and goodbye
Choose me or walk away
I'm too grown to keep asking why

If your heart belongs beside me
Then stand here and let it be known
But if you're only passing through my life

Choose me...

Or leave me alone

### Bridge

The blues taught me something valuable
Every lingering wound eventually speaks
And mine keeps telling me the same thing

Love shouldn't feel like begging

Love shouldn't require chasing

Love shouldn't leave a woman questioning her value

At two in the morning

While staring into silence

### Verse 3

So tonight beneath these dim-lit memories
I'm setting something heavy down
No more carrying uncertainty on my back
No more wearing confusion like a crown

If you want me, come with conviction
Bring your whole heart across the line
Because the next chapter of this story

Won't be written

In maybe

### Final Chorus

Choose me or walk away
No more standing in the middle ground
Choose me or walk away
Because my peace is finally something I've found

I can survive disappointment
I've already proven that much is true
What I refuse to survive again

Is loving harder

Than you do

### Outro

So take all the time you need

But don't take forever

Because this woman finally understands something

Her love is valuable

Her time is valuable

Her heart is valuable

And if you can't recognize the treasure standing before you...

Somebody else will

Choose me...

Or walk away...

Choose me...

Or walk away...
