"I Choose Me" lyrics

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
A fight
Everyday it still feels like a fight
Though I'm
Working on healing
(Oh oh oh)
At night
When I'm questioning my decisions
I remind myself
"Look how far you've come"

'Cause I, I, I
I choose me
Over everything and everyone else
'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

(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)

Honestly
It can get exhausting trying 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 hiding
All my hurt inside

Why
Does everyday still feel like a fight
Though I've
Been working on healing

But now
When I'm looking at the mirror
I tell myself
"We'll be alright"

'Cause I, I, I
I choose me
Over everything and everyone else
'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

(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
