Choose My Damn Self

(Verse 1)
I bled for your love, yeah I gave you my veins
Took all your chaos, your shit, and your games
You had me twisted, thinking pain was normal
Crying at night like that shit was adorable

(Pre-Chorus)
I was breaking just to keep you whole
Losing every piece of my damn soul

(Chorus)
So I’m choosing my damn self this time
Sick of crossing all my fucking lines
I loved you deep, now I’m cutting ties
You don’t get me anymore, goodbye
No more begging, no more hurt
I’m done putting you first
If it’s me or you—I know my worth
Yeah, I choose my fucking self

(Verse 2)
You took my heart, turned it into a mess
Left me in pieces while you gave me less
I kept forgiving shit I should’ve burned
Now you watching me become what you don’t deserve

(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need your lies in my head
I’d rather sleep alone than feel that dread

(Chorus)
So I’m choosing my damn self this time
Sick of crossing all my fucking lines
I loved you deep, now I’m cutting ties
You don’t get me anymore, goodbye
No more begging, no more hurt
I’m done putting you first
If it’s me or you—I know my worth
Yeah, I choose my fucking self

(Bridge)
I’m not your backup, not your cure
Not your late-night when you’re insecure
You had your chance, you let it die
Now watch me walk without a goodbye

(Final Chorus)
Yeah I’m choosing me, loud and clear
No more drowning in your fear
I gave you love, you gave me scars
Now I’m healing, raising bars
No more settling for less
No more cleaning up your mess
If it’s me or you—no contest
Yeah, I choose my fucking self

(Outro)
No guilt, no shame…
Just me—and I’m not the same.
