Choose me?

(Verse 1)

Stared at the wreckage of a broken dream, baby

Used to think his chaos was my only maybe

He had two faces, one a man, one a fiend

Hands out for money, heart was just obscene

Said you were a king, but you moved like a pawn

Disrespect the sunrise, every single dawn

Shoulda broke me down, shoulda left me in the dust

But I built a new kingdom on my self-made trust

(Pre-Chorus)

Left the poison in the past, yeah, I locked it away

Got a new light shining on me today (Shine!)

Heartbeat’s a brand new rhythm, feel the energy flow

About to show the world how a phoenix can grow

(Chorus/Hook - Catchy, rhythmic, easy to sing along to, infectious energy)

I choose me (Me!), I choose me (Yeah!)

Got the key to my future, only I set me free

I’m my own damn hero, I'm the Queen you see (See!)

Watch me rise from the ashes, living effortlessly

Yeah, that demon's in my rearview, I ain't looking back

Got the crown on my head, I’m on the right track

Ain't no man in my way, keeping me in check

I choose me, me, me, put the crown back on my neck

(Verse 2)He wanted a nurse, a bankroll, and a fan

Never lifted a finger, never made a plan

I was healing trauma he was adding to the pile

While he was chasing demons with a faded smile

Used to cry those nights, think I wasn't enough

Found my backbone made of stronger, tougher stuff

Now I'm shining brighter than I ever could have been

Locked the door on the wreckage, yeah, I closed it then

(Pre-Chorus)

Left the poison in the past, yeah, I locked it away

Got a new light shining on me today (Shine!)

Heartbeat’s a brand new rhythm, feel the energy flow

About to show the world how a phoenix can grow

(Chorus/Hook)

I choose me (Me!), I choose me (Yeah!)

Got the key to my future, only I set me free

I’m my own damn hero, I'm the Queen you see (See!)

Watch me rise from the ashes, living effortlessly

Yeah, that demon's in my rearview, I ain't looking back

Got the crown on my head, I’m on the right track

Ain't no man in my way, keeping me in check

I choose me, me, me, put the crown back on my neck

(Bridge -)No more handouts, no more emotional debt

He's a past-tense problem I already forget

My heart is healing, the trauma's turning to power

Watch me build an empire hour after hour

I'm the fire, I'm the phoenix, watch me ignite

From the darkest tunnel to the brightest light

(Chorus/Hook - All in, maximum energy, ready to dance)

I choose me (Me!), I choose me (Yeah!)

Got the key to my future, only I set me freel

I’m my own damn hero, I'm the Queen you see (See!)

Watch me rise from the ashes, living effortlessly

Yeah, that demon's in my rearview, I ain't looking back

Got the crown on my head, I’m on the right track

Ain't no man in my way, keeping me in check

I choose me, me, me, put the crown back on my neck

(Outro - Beat continues to fade with ad-libs)

Choose me. Always choose me.
