I used to quiet what I knew was true Turn my voice down just to make it through Held my breath, tried to keep it smooth Told myself that it’s what I had to do I gave pieces I couldn’t spare Tried to be what was needed there But I learned what I couldn’t fake If I lose myself, it’s too much to take Pre-Chorus I don’t live like that no more I don’t stand outside my door Chorus I choose me now, I don’t look away I hear my voice and I let it stay I don’t fold just to keep the peace I don’t trade what I need for ease I’m not small, I just grew my ground Every line that I draw holds now If you’re lost, you can follow me This is what it means to be free Verse 2 I don’t rush just to fill the space I let silence take its place If it’s real, it won’t need a chase I trust time, I don’t recreate I feel everything, let it move Even pain got a place to go through I don’t run when it’s hard to stay I let truth show me the way Pre-Chorus I don’t reach where I feel unsure I don’t question my core anymore Chorus I choose me now, I don’t look away I hear my voice and I let it stay I don’t fold just to keep the peace I don’t trade what I need for ease I’m not small, I just grew my ground Every line that I draw holds now If you’re lost, you can follow me This is what it means to be free Bridge I was always there underneath Every doubt that was placed on me If you feel like you’re fading out You can stand, you can turn around Final Chorus (lift) I choose me now in every way Even when it’s hard, I still stay I don’t break just to feel secure I trust me, and I know I’m sure I’m not lost, I just found my sound Feet on earth, I’m not backing down If you’re lost, you don’t have to be You can start right here with me
