Naomi Raine – Choosing Myself / Still Alone

Lyrics: Choosing Myself / Still Alone by Naomi Raine

Let me finish, let me finish talkin’
Let me get this off my chest
I’m no stranger, you know me well
But it feels like we just met
I’m just tryin’ to cope with the impossibilities
I wish were possibilities
Feels like I’m in a dream
I know you say you want me, but you’re too afraid of happy
That hurts me, it scares me, but this is reality
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
Tellin’ me lies (Tellin’ me lies)
Like I’m makin’ this up (Makin’ this up)
Like this is insanity
Sometimes my mind plays tricks, (Mm-hmm), this ain’t reality
Sometimes my mind is playin’ tricks on me

I won’t believe it
I won’t believe it, not for one second
I don’t believe it
I don’t believe it, but I still have questions
I wanna believe you (I want to believe you)
But you’re not helping
Wish you were see-through (I wish you could see me)
Wish I could see you

I just want you
I wish that I could free your mind
I just want you
Sometimes I wish that we could just rewind time
What if I never knew, oh, ooh
What if I just want you
And I want you to want you, too
I just want you
I’m hoping that you’ll change your mind (Change your mind)
I’m praying you’ll try to try
To be happy for once
You deserve to be happy for once
I just want you to be happy for once

Didn’t you come alive (I just want you)
When you looked in my eyes? (When you looked in my eyes)
I just want you
I saw you come alive
I just want you
You can just choose, you can decide

I’m so afraid to lose you
That I’m losing myself
I’m so afraid to choose you (I’m so afraid to choose you)
So I’m choosing myself (So I’m choosing myself)
I’m so afraid to lose you, mm-hmm
‘Cause I’m finding myself in you
Still everyday that I choose you, mm-hmm
I’m choosing myself
Deep down you’ll remember, me
But even if you don’t choose me (I just want you)
I’m choosing myself (I just want you)
I’m choosing myself
It’s about time, didn’t we come alive?
Don’t make me choose by myself

I pray that you’ll chose me, I know that it’s confusing
Please say that you’ll choose me
Just make up your mind this time
This time
I pray that you’ll choose me, say that you’ll choose me
I’m choosing happy, the real me
I’m choosing the freedom I feel when I look in these eyes (Say that you’ll choose me)
I want the true me (Say that you’ll choose me)
I’m choosing myself
Mm, mm
Mm
Oh

[Verse 1]
I’m a vault, keep it closed
Hide the pain so nobody knows
Smilin’ and showin’ my teeth
But I’m just deep in the misery
Suck it up, let it go
It’ll pass, they’ll never know
Trying to rehearse the lies
I’ve been tellin’ myself for this whole time

[Pre-Chorus]
Like, “You don’t really feel this way
This is just a passing phase”
[Chorus]
So many choices made
So I wouldn’t be alone
Still alone, I’m still alone
In a crowd, I’m still alone
Maybe what’s done is done
And even if I get out this one
I’m still alone, I’m still alone
Here I am, I’m still alone

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, gets lonely, that’s how the story goes
Ooh, gets lonely
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I don’t care, I’ve had enough
Maybe the brave thing is givin’ up
I always stay too long
‘Cause I never learned how to move on
I won’t pretend that this is right
To live a life in a lie
Tryin’ to please the crowd
But I’m lettin’ myself down

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don’t have to live this way
I just need some bravery to say what I gotta say
[Chorus]
I made the choice I made (I made the choice I made)
So I wouldn’t be alone (So I wouldn’t be alone)
Still alone, I’m still alone
It didn’t work, I’m still alone (Still alone)
Maybe what’s done is done
And even if I get out this one
I’m still alone, I’m still alone (Still alone)
Here I am, I’m still alone (Oh, ooh)
So many choices made
So I wouldn’t be alone
Still alone, I’m still alone
That’s what I get, I’m still alone (Still alone)
Maybe what’s done is done
But if I get out this one
Stand alone, I’m stand alone
I’ll pay the price to stand alone

[Post-Chorus]
I’m not lonely, this is how the story goes
I’m not lonely, oh, ooh
I’m not lonely, I might be alone
I’m not lonely, but I’m not lonely, I’m not afraid of lonely
I’m not lonely, I’m no longer afraid of me
I’m not lonely, no, I’m not afraid of lonely
I’m not lonely, I’m no longer afraid of me
I’m not lonely, oh
[Outro]
I’m choosing myself
Ooh, ooh
