UNCHOSEN

[Verse 1]
I kept finding reasons to stay
Even when you pushed me away
I gave you pieces of my heart
Hoping you'd see them from the start
I learned the things that made you smile
Stayed beside you all the while
You never asked me to remain
But I kept holding on through every pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was holding on too tight
To something never meant to be mine
You saw my love, but looked away
While I kept waiting every day
[Chorus]
I was unchosen
Even when I gave you all of me
I kept believing
That someday you would finally see
I gave you my heart
But you were looking somewhere else
I kept reaching for your love
While losing pieces of myself
I was unchosen
And maybe that's the truth
You were everything I wanted
But I was never enough for you
[Verse 2]
I thought the more that I could give
The more you'd want for us to live
But love was never meant to be
One heart begging another to believe
You found a different kind of love
Someone you could finally call enough
And I had to watch you walk away
With everything I wished you'd say
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't blame you for what you feel
I just wish my love had felt more real
To you, the way it did to me
Maybe then you'd understand what I couldn't see
[Chorus]
I was unchosen
Even when I gave you all of me
I kept believing
That someday you would finally see
I gave you my heart
But you were looking somewhere else
I kept reaching for your love
While losing pieces of myself
I was unchosen
And maybe that's the truth
You were everything I wanted
But I was never enough for you
[Bridge]
Maybe someday I'll understand
Why loving you slipped through my hands
I gave you all that I could give
But I can't make you choose the way I did
Loving you is easy,
Forgetting you is painful.
You call me when you're lonely,
But never when you're free.
So I'll stop chasing what won't stay
I'll let you find your own way
And even if it breaks my heart
I'll learn to let you go
[Final Chorus]
I was unchosen
But I won't keep begging you to stay
I gave you everything
And you still walked away
You found somebody else
And now I have to let you be
Maybe losing you
Is how I'll finally find me
I was unchosen
But that doesn't mean I'm lost
I loved you with my whole heart
Even if it came at a cost
[Outro]
You were the one I wanted
But I was never the one you chose
And now I'm learning
To let you go.
