Verse 1
Seventeen years of walking on a wire
Every word I spoke would light another fire
Tried to keep the peace, tried to hold us down
But I was losing me just to keep you around
Late night tears, silent cries in the dark
Kids in the next room, hearing every spark
Said this ain’t love, this don’t feel right
I been fighting for us, but losing my life
Pre-Chorus
I kept hoping you would change
But pain don’t ever rearrange
And I can’t keep breaking down
Just to keep you safe and sound
Chorus
I choose me now, I choose my peace
I choose a life where my babies can breathe
No more fear when you walk through the door
We deserve better, I know that for sure
I’m done holding on to what’s breaking me
I’m finally walking away, I’m free
Yeah it hurts, but I believe somehow
This is love… choosing me now
Verse 2
You had me thinking I was never enough
Second guessing me, made everything tough
Miss one call, now it’s all a fight
Turning nothing into something every night
Showed your truth when you crossed that line
Pulled up at my job, lost your mind
That was the moment it all got clear
Love don’t live in control and fear
Pre-Chorus
I kept praying you would see
What this was doing to me
But I found my strength inside
Ain’t no more running, I’m done hiding
Chorus
I choose me now, I choose my peace
I choose a life where my babies can breathe
No more fear when you walk through the door
We deserve better, I know that for sure
I’m done holding on to what’s breaking me
I’m finally walking away, I’m free
Yeah it hurts, but I believe somehow
This is love… choosing me now
Bridge
For my babies, I gotta be strong
Show them right, not teach them wrong
They watching every move I make
So I’m breaking every chain you placed
I ain’t scared of starting again
Rather alone than lost in this pain
Found my voice, found my way
A better life starts today
Outro
No more tears falling on this floor
No more begging you to love me more
I’m walking out, I ain’t looking back
Got my kids, and that’s all I need intact
Yeah I’m healing, yeah I’m proud
I found my strength, I’m standing loud
It took some time, but here I am now…
Finally choosing me now
