Karaoké I Choose Me Sadie Barlow

I learned to read the silence and keep my feelings small

I kept forgiving everything 'till I felt nothing at all

I called it love

I called it patience but I was disappearing slowly

Now I finally hear the truth

I don't have to lose myself to hold you

I choose me even when it hurts

I choose more than almost

I choose what I deserve no more losing who I am to be everything you need

For the first time in a long time

I choose me

Some days

I still miss you some days

I miss myself

The woman who kept waiting for you to be someone else

And the kids can see me learning that strength is not pretending

Sometimes courage is just knowing when it's time to start again

I choose me even when it hurts

I choose more than almost

I choose what I deserve no more calling bare minimum

The love that I should keep for the first time in a long time

I choose me yeah yeah

Yeah

I don't need to prove you wrong

I just need to trust my heart

Choosing me is not the ending it's where my life begins to start

I choose me with the scars and doubt not because I'm

Never lonely but because I made it out

This is my voice this is my life and it belongs to me

For the first time in a long time

I choose me
