I Chose Myself

I learned to smile when it went wrong. I learned to leave before too long. I kept my silence, kept it inside Until the old me finally died. I crossed that line And let it burn. Somewhere inside, I never turn. I chose myself For the first time. I chose myself and left it behind. All that I lost, all that I felt was Worth the moment I chose myself, Self, self, self. I know the cost, I paid it twice. I gave away too much of my life. I lost some people, I lost some time, But what I found was finally mine. I crossed that line and let it burn. Somewhere inside, I never turn. I chose myself for the first time. I chose myself and left it behind. All that I lost, all that I felt was Worth the moment I chose myself, Self, self. I chose myself. I chose myself.
