It's not an angry break up song-it's a moment of ownership. The story is about reclaiming agency after emotional imbalance, where choosing herself becomes the most honest and powerful decision she can make.

Lyrics
I decide by Alexandra Higgins 2025
When I loved you
Last time
It just felt right
When I loved you last time
We talked
Into the night
Things are different now
Moving in a new direction
Doing that
For my own protection
CHORUS
Love has been gone
For a while now
Something different I
couldn't quite
Put my finger on
This time
I"m in control
I decide
RIGHT TO INSTRUMENTAL (horn line to bridge)
BRIDGE
Sober now and I am
Not drinking
I have a whole
New way of thinking 2/3/4 leaving you behind
CHORUS
Love has been gone
For a while now
Something different I
couldn't quite
Put my finger on
This time
I"m in control
I decide
LEAD. (GUITAR)
CHORUS
Well, this Love has been gone
For a long long while now
Something different I
couldn't quite
Put my finger on
This time
I"m in control
I decide
OH, I decide to be alone
