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?
