Lyric

I used to settle for less than I knew

Giving my heart to someone half true

Smiling through tears nobody could see

Losing myself while trying to be free

Then I learned silence can speak so loud

Standing alone can make you proud

Now I'm not afraid to walk away

If love don't mean what love should say

I don't need promises in the dark

I just need honesty from the heart

I want the love I deserve

Not something borrowed, not something blurred

A man who sees me when the lights are low

A heart that's willing to grow

The love I deserve

Strong enough to weather every curve

Not perfect, just real and true

That's the kind of love I'm choosing now

No more chasing what won't stay

No more begging somebody to stay

I've got sunshine in my soul these days

Finding peace in my own ways

If you're coming into my life

Bring your truth, don't bring disguise

Because I'm finally learning how

To love myself completely now

I don't need promises in the dark

I just need honesty from the heart

I want the love I deserve

Not something borrowed, not something blurred

A man who sees me when the lights are low

A heart that's willing to grow

The love I deserve

Strong enough to weather every curve

Not perfect, just real and true

That's the kind of love I'm choosing now

And if it takes a little longer

I've already grown stronger

I'm not waiting to be saved

I've already found my way

I want the love I deserve

The kind that makes every lesson worth

Every goodbye that led me here

Every doubt and every fear

The love I deserve

That's the only love I'll serve

Not perfect, just real and true

That's the kind of love I'm choosing now
