I Choose Me

[Verse 1]
It's been a little while since I left you behind
Sometimes, I still feel your energy in mine
The way you used to spin my pure intentions
Into accusations just so you would win

[Pre-Chorus]
A fight everyday, it still feels like a fight
Though I'm workin' on healin' (Oh, oh, oh)
At night, when I'm questionin' my decisions
I remind myself, "Look how far you've come"

[Chorus]
'Cause I, I, I
I choose me
Over everything and everyone else (Ooh)
'Cause I, I, I
I'm the only one
Who knows me better
Who'll bе there through any weathеr?
I, I, I
I'll hold me
And tell my inner child that we're always growin'
Forgive the past with your current happiness
For a future that's free
I choose me

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Honestly, it can get exhausting tryin' to manage me
And only see the good in others
Reality isn't as kind as we want it to be
And maybe I'm just hidin' all my hurt inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does everyday still feel like a fight?
Though I've been workin' on healin'
But now when I'm lookin' at the mirror
I tell myself, "We'll be alright"

[Chorus]
'Cause I, I, I
I choose me
Over everything and everyone else (Ooh)
'Cause I, I, I
I'm the only one
Who knows me better
Who'll be there through any weather?
I, I, I
I'll hold me
And tell my inner child that we're always growing
Forgive the past with your current happiness
For a future that's free
I choose me

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I choose me
