“I Choose Me”

Verse 1

Woke up stuck in a life on repeat

Same broken woman starin’ back at me

Used to be soft, used to believe

Now there’s more hate than what I used to be

You said “I love you,” I learned to stay quiet

Buried my voice just to keep from a riot

Told I was childish, told I was wrong

So I kept my head down and played along

⸻

Pre-Chorus

But truth don’t die just ‘cause you hide it deep

And I’m done losin’ sleep

⸻

Chorus

I choose me, I choose breathin’ again

I choose walkin’ away from where it all ends

You took my heart, but you won’t take my soul

I’m breakin’ free from the life you controlled

Seven years, yeah I gave you that

But I’m takin’ back every piece you cracked

I don’t want love if it looks like this

I choose me… over all of it

⸻

Verse 2

You kept leavin’, yeah time after time

Made trauma feel like a part of my life

Ran to her with every word you’d speak

While I stood there beggin’ you to see me

You never believed when I said I was pregnant

Had to prove it just to get your attention

Eight months along, you sent me away

Four hours drivin’ in fear that day

⸻

Pre-Chorus

That road I drove was more than miles

That was the death of denial

⸻

Chorus

I choose me, I choose breathin’ again

I choose walkin’ away from where it all ends

You took my heart, but you won’t take my soul

I’m breakin’ free from the life you controlled

Seven years, yeah I gave you that

But I’m takin’ back every piece you cracked

I don’t want love if it looks like this

I choose me… over all of it

Bridge (Story → Power Shift)

Easter mornin’, I was hidin’ eggs

Smilin’ for our kids while you lied instead

Fake accounts, chasin’ somethin’ new

That was the moment I was done with you

I stopped cryin’, I went numb inside

Started prayin’ just to feel alive

Wishin’ you’d leave so I could breathe

Didn’t know freedom would start with me

⸻

Breakdown (Quiet, Real)

I ain’t crazy for not wantin’ this

I ain’t selfish for needin’ to live

This ain’t love, this ain’t right

And I won’t stay and lose this fight

⸻

Final Chorus (Strong + Reclaimed Identity)

I choose me, I choose finally free

I choose the woman you couldn’t see

You broke me down, but I rebuilt strong

And I won’t stay where I don’t belong

Seven years was a lesson learned

Now I rise from the bridges burned

I don’t want you, I don’t need pain

I choose me… and I’ll never change

⸻

Outro (Empowered, calm)

You didn’t end me…

You revealed me.
