I am choosing me - You don’t owe anyone your peace.

Описание: Spoken Intro
I didn’t notice the moment I started disappearing — I thought I was just being strong, just being patient, just doing what I had to do — but somewhere between giving and forgiving, bending and understanding, I lost pieces of myself trying to carry what was never mine to hold, smiling through exhaustion, shrinking to fit expectations, calling it love, calling it growth, calling it survival — until one day I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger wearing my face… and that’s when I knew — this time, I have to choose me.
Chorus
I am choosing me…
For once, I am choosing me…
I gave you open doors
You gave me empty rooms
I bent until I broke
Trying to make space for you
I was water in your hands
You let me slip away
Now I’m closing every door
You never stayed
Allow me to break…
Allow me to heal…
This time I have to choose me
Find myself…
Get to know me… for real
Enough…
Just enough…
Verse 1
Life didn’t ask permission
It just took and took again
I kept saying “I’m okay”
While drowning underneath my skin
I carried what wasn’t mine
I swallowed what I felt
I kept shrinking myself smaller
Just to help somebody else
Smiling through the damage
Clapping for your shine
While my own light faded
Right before my eyes
Pre-Chorus
I don’t even know who I am anymore…
I’ve been performing for too long
Trying to be the strong one
Trying to belong
But strength without rest
Turns into slow decay
And I can’t keep living
This way…
Bridge (Soft → Build)
I tried…
God knows I tried…
I gave my best years
My softest tears
My quiet sacrifices
And you called it normal
So let me fall apart…
Let me feel the ache…
Let me sit with the silence
For my own sake…
Verse 2
Lonely feels cleaner
Than crowded and unseen
Silence feels kinder
Than words that cut too deep
I don’t need applause
I don’t need to explain
I just need a moment
To breathe without pain
Maybe healing looks like distance
Maybe love looks like space
Maybe choosing myself
Is the bravest thing I’ll face
Final Chorus (Softer, Stronger)
I am choosing me…
For once, I am choosing me…
No more bending
No more pretending
No more shrinking to survive
I’m learning my own name again
I’m taking back my time
Allow me to break…
Allow me to heal…
This time I have to choose me
Find myself
Get to know me… for real
Enough…
Just enough…
