Lyrics
[Verse 1] Packed my fears in a thrift store bag Left your town in the rearview glass You said I’d break Said I’d run right back Funny how I never even cracked [Pre-Chorus] Who was I proving it to? You Them Everyone but me Now I’m done wasting my truth On people who don’t wanna see [Chorus] I choose myself this time Not your script Not your design Walk out the door Head high Every step I’m cutting ties I choose myself I rise From the wreckage of our lies If I lose you That’s fine I finally feel like I’m alive [Verse 2] Sleeping in In a quiet bed Peace feels loud in an empty head Learning how to love my own reflection Scars lined up like a constellation [Pre-Chorus] I used to beg to be picked Held my breath till I turned blue Now my heart’s calling the shots And it’s done choosing you [Chorus] I choose myself this time Not your script Not your design Walk out the door Head high Every step I’m cutting ties I choose myself I rise From the wreckage of our lies If I lose you That’s fine I finally feel like I’m alive [Bridge] Leveling up from the hurt and the hunger Learned how to stay when the storm pulls me under Leaving the girl who apologized first Saving my softness I know what it’s worth (oh) [Chorus] I choose myself this time Not your script Not your design Walk out the door Head high Every step I’m cutting ties I choose myself I rise From the wreckage of our lies If I lose you That’s fine I finally feel like I’m alive (I choose myself) I finally feel like I’m alive
