Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up

Same mirror

Same doubt

Tracing every tiny flaw out

Why’s it so loud in my head

When the room is quiet instead

Scrolling through a perfect highlight

Comparing my storm to their sky

But under all the tired and tried

I feel a little spark still alive (yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been running from my own reflection

Chasing every stranger’s validation

But I’m done hiding in the background

Turn it up

Hear me now

[Chorus]

I choose me

I shine anyway

Even when my colors fade to gray

I get up

I fight through the rain

Every bruise becomes a brighter shade

I choose me

Every scar

Every stain

Turning all my heartbreak into flame

I fall down

Then I rise

Unafraid

I choose me

I shine anyway (oh-woah)

[Verse 2]

Late nights

Talking to the ceiling

Listing all the things I’m not yet

But I’m learning how to love the process

Every slow step

Yeah

That’s progress

Little voice saying “you’re too much”

Another says I’m never enough

I’m tired of that tug-of-war

I’m locking that old door

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been running from my own reflection

Chasing every stranger’s validation

But I’m done hiding in the background

Turn it up

Hear me now (hey)

[Chorus]

I choose me

I shine anyway

Even when my colors fade to gray

I get up

I fight through the rain

Every bruise becomes a brighter shade

I choose me

Every scar

Every stain

Turning all my heartbreak into flame

I fall down

Then I rise

Unafraid

I choose me

I shine anyway (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

Step by step

Breath by breath

Every “almost” made me blessed

All my cracks let the light in

This time I’m on my side

I’m on my side (oh)

[Chorus]

I choose me

I shine anyway

Even when my colors fade to gray

I get up

I fight through the rain

Every bruise becomes a brighter shade

I choose me

Every scar

Every stain

Turning all my heartbreak into flame

I fall down

Then I rise

Unafraid

I choose me

I shine anyway (shine anyway)
