Hanging up my Jersey

Think I’m doing what’s best for me 

Think I’m making the right decision 

Think I know what my heart needs

Think that time would help the healing 

Thought you’d always be here

Thought you’d never leave 

Thought that by picking me the tears would disappear

Hoping one day you’d come back to me 

But a lie is what you told 

Wanted to see where I’d rather go 

What I pick myself and be bold 

Or hold on to the thought of love and not know where to go 

I guess I can’t blame anyone but myself 

For not showing what my heart desires 

Too stuck on pride to give him his flowers 

But now that I’m aware 

I know the path to take 

The one that is alone 

So self love can come to play 

Cuz if you don’t know yourself 

You can’t love someone else 

Sometimes you just need to put yourself on the shelf
