“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.
