Verse 1 I been quiet through the chaos, tried to keep the peace Held the weight of every storm that wasn’t meant for me All the trauma, all the drama, all the emotional noise Drowned my heart out tryna be somebody’s choice I gave patience, I gave chances, I gave all I knew Even when the love I gave wasn’t coming through Abuse, misuse, bending till I break Lost myself in promises I tried to make But something in my spirit finally said You can’t pour love out if your soul feels dead Pre-Chorus So I stepped back, took a breath Listened to the truth inside my chest No more shrinking just to fit No more living counterfeit HOOK / CHORUS I love you… but I love me more I close the wounds, I open doors Self-love ain’t selfish, it’s mandatory Now I’m writing my own story I love me first, I know my worth Peace in my mind, heaven on earth No more living for everybody else Today I choose myself Verse 2 All that pressure, all that proving, trying to belong Carried other people’s pain for way too long Walking on eggshells just to make it right While my own soul fading out of sight But healing came when I chose my name Stopped playing small in somebody’s game I forgave the past but I drew the line My heart, my peace, my sacred time Now I rise when the morning calls Standing tall after every fall Pre-Chorus No more fear of being alone I found a love I never outgrow The one inside that never leaves The one that finally sets me free HOOK / CHORUS I love you… but I love me more I close the wounds, I open doors Self-love ain’t selfish, it’s mandatory Now I’m writing my own story I love me first, I know my worth Peace in my mind, heaven on earth No more living for everybody else Today I choose myself Bridge When I love me first My boundaries stand strong My energy rises My heart moves on My peace gets deeper My mind gets clear The right people stay The wrong disappear When I love me first My light gets bright My soul remembers What freedom feels like Final Chorus (big uplifting finish) I love you… but I love me more I close the wounds, I open doors Self-love ain’t selfish, it’s mandatory Now I’m living my true story I love me first, I claim my worth Peace in my mind, heaven on earth No more shrinking to make room for pain I choose my love again and again I love me first I love me first And finally my heart Feels like home again.
