All them nights when I chose you, Hell, I should’ve laced my boots and ran straight through. Put you over Mama, Daddy, My blood, my roots, my whole damn family. You’d tear me down and call it love, And I’d still beg for just enough. You took my heart and wore it thin But I kept crawlin’ back again. The lyin’, the cheatin’, the games you’d play, I traded my whole world just to make you stay. But baby, that girl’s long gone she finally woke up. ’Cause now I’m choosin’ me, Yeah, I’m choosin’ me for once. Over the heartbreak, over the hell, Over every sorry you never meant once. I ain’t your fool, I ain’t your flame, Not your shoulder, not your blame. Thank you for choosin’ you, darlin’ Now watch me choose me. Gave up dreams I’d worked for years, Lost my voice and swallowed tears. Stopped runnin’ fast, stopped chasin’ life, All just to keep your chaos right. You’d pull me close then shove me away, Had me beggin’ for the bare minimum, every day. But sugar, a woman only breaks so long Before she learns to stand up strong You drained me empty, tried to leave me small, But I found my backbone standin’ against your wall. Now the cracks you made are where my light shines through… ’Cause now I’m choosin’ me, Yeah, I’m choosin’ me hell yes. Over the half-truths, over the bruises, Over cleanin’ up your mess. I’m risin’ up, I finally see I’m done beggin’ you to pick me. Thank you for choosin’ you, darlin’ Now watch me choose me. I’m strong, I’m bold, unbreakable, A wildfire in my skin. Lettin’ you go wasn’t losin’, babe It was my biggest win. So I’m choosin’ me, Yeah, I’m choosin’ me for good. Lovin’ myself the way You never would. This heart’s too wild, too tough, too free To ever settle for misery. Thank you for choosin’ you, darlin’ ’Cause now I proudly choose me.
