What Can I Choose
[Intro]
Thoughts floating through my head
Who do I want to be?
Who is the real me?
Broken
Pain
Regrets
Mistake after mistake
Apologies
[Verse 1]
What was taught?
What was mine?
What was planted
Before I had a choice?
What was fear?

What was truth?
What was only someone else
Speaking with my voice?
What is nature?
What is nurture?
What is wound?
What is me?
How much of myself
Was made before
I knew that I could be?
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I choosing?
Was I surviving?
Was I becoming
What they asked me to be?
Was I changing?

Was I hiding?
Was I learning
To survive behind a door?
[Chorus]
What can I choose?
What was chosen for me?
What do I call myself
When I don’t know what I believe?
What can I choose?
When the door is open now
How much of me walks through
And how much still turns around?
[Verse 2]
Bias in the mirror
Lessons in my skin
Old apologies
Trying to get in

Mistake after mistake
Name after name
How many versions
Were built out of shame?
What did I carry?
What did I defend?
What did I call myself
Just to make it end?
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I choosing?
Was I surviving?
Was I becoming
What they asked me to be?
Was I changing?
Was I hiding?
Was I learning

To survive behind a door?
[Chorus]
What can I choose?
What was chosen for me?
What do I call myself
When I don’t know what I believe?
What can I choose?
When the door is open now
How much of me walks through
And how much still turns around?
[Bridge]
If I was shaped
Before I knew
Then who am I
When I finally choose?
If I was hurt

Before I had a name
Am I the wound
Or what remains?
I don’t want an answer
That locks me in place
I just want to know
What is mine to face
[Breakdown]
Thoughts floating through my head
Who do I want to be?
Who is the real me?
Broken
Pain
Regrets
Mistake after mistake
Apologies

What was taught?
What was mine?
What was nature?
What was nurture?
What was chosen?
What was choice?
[Final Chorus]
What can I choose?
What was chosen for me?
What do I call myself
When I don’t know what I believe?
What can I choose?
When the door is open now
How much of me walks through
And how much still turns around?

Who do I want to be?
Who is the real me?
What can I choose
If I am still becoming?
[Outro]
Thoughts floating through my head
Who do I want to be?
Who is the real me?
What can I choose?
