Lyrics:
Hopelessly in love — a tiny, hopeless heap of hope,
I’m going deaf … and yes, it’s you who tipped the slope.
Your fault — at least by half — I whispered “Stop, now choose!”
For months I yelled in silence, losing ground I’d never lose.
You stare so calm, and all I hear is ringing in my head;
I carry all that noise alone, the words we left unsaid.

What is the shape — love’s cornered scrap that doesn’t fit?
An L beneath my chin — too tight to breathe in it.
So close it hurts — or far as any sea;
I want a straight-up answer now — no detour left for me.

No means no — I choose me (2x)
I won’t take less — not anymore, I’m free.
Hopeless in love? A heap of hope — but free.
No means no — I choose me (2x)

Does he give me room to feel and trust what I can feel,
Or leave me drowning while my borders flood and peel?
Not long ago I tried to fit my misses into form,
Called it “wise” and placed it — but no light returned warm.

I stack up pretty reasons, swear they’re “reasonable,” I try —
But here they crack and crumble: no more light, no clear blue sky.

No means no — I choose me (2x)
I won’t take less — not anymore, I’m free.
Hopeless in love? A heap of hope — but free.
No means no — I choose me (2x)

I … choose … now … for … me (2x)
Choose — choose — choose for me.
Clear — clear — clear to see.
No means no — I choose me.
Hopeless in love? I set it free.

Take a stand — my eyes now whisper — looks like he leans her way;
My heart says “yes,” then “no,” then “yes,” then swings in wild delay.
No living faith remains that soul and spirit shine in you;
You do too much for “not with her” — so what of what is true?

False truths dim out — no light, no clarity;
I lay my weight, find center — fall back into me.

No means no — I choose me (2x)
I won’t take less — not anymore, I’m free.
Hopeless in love? A heap of hope — but free.
No means no — I choose me (2x)

Same old shine, same fake daylight;
Reasons pile and call it right.
Two, then three — the mountain grows,
Love-debris in cornered rows.
Hopeless in love — I tremble, small —
A heap of hope against the wall.

No means no — I choose me (2x)
I won’t take less — not anymore, I’m free.
Hopeless in love? A heap of hope — but free.
No means no — I choose me (2x)

Done … Choose … Now … For … Me (2x)
No means no — I choose me.
Choose — choose — choose for me.
