🌙 INTRO (spoken, close mic, intimate)
I don’t think people understand
how heavy it gets
when your own mind
stops feeling like home…
but I stayed.
💔 VERSE 1 (spoken / half-sung)
I’ve been the version of me
that stayed too long
in places I knew were wrong
smiling through it
breaking quietly
acting like it didn’t hurt
but it did.
and I got tired
of disappearing inside myself
just to make it easier
for everyone else.
🌫️ PRE-CHORUS (spoken, emotional rise)
So I started doing something new…
I started choosing me
even when it felt uncomfortable
even when it felt selfish
even when it felt unfamiliar
⚡ CHORUS (simple, chantable, festival vocal hook)
I choose me
I choose me
every single day
I choose peace
I choose healing
I choose my way
I am not lucky
I am aligned
I’m still here
and I’m still mine
🌙 VERSE 2 (spoken, grounded)
They don’t see the nights
I had to rebuild myself
from nothing but silence
no applause
no audience
just me
learning how to breathe again
and I did.
slowly…
imperfectly…
but I did.
💫 BRIDGE (spoken softer, almost breaking)
Mental health matters…
I wish someone told me that sooner
not as a quote
but as a lifeline
because I almost didn’t make it
to this version of me
🌅 FINAL CHORUS (bigger, emotional lift)
I choose me
I choose me
even now
I choose light
I choose life
I choose how
I am not broken
I am becoming
I am here
and I’m not running
🌌 OUTRO (spoken, calm)
Peace didn’t come to me…
I went to it
and I stayed there
this time.
