Lyrics
(Mmm… yeah)
(Yeah, yeah… uh)
Had to lose you just to find me again…
You had a woman who would ride for you (ride for you)
Die for you (yeah), cried for you too (cried for you)
Held you down when the nights got cold,
But you played me like your favorite fool.
(Gave you everything, everything…)
Built you up while I ran dry,
You had a queen and still chose lies —
(Tell me why… oh why… why?)
You made me feel like I was too much (too much)
While you was out there doing too much (yeah)
Now I’m pullin’ my energy back —
No regrets, just facts (facts)
I chose me first, yeah (first, yeah)
After all that hurt, yeah (after all that hurt, yeah)
You broke my heart, but I found my worth (found my worth)
Now I’m healed and it feels like church (mmm feels like church)
I gave you love, you gave me lessons (lessons)
Now I’m countin’ me as a blessin’ (blessin’)
You lost your turn, I’m done rehearsin’ —
This time, I chose me first (ohh yeah)
Used to dream ‘bout us growin’ old (growin’ old)
Now I’m fine just sleepin’ alone (sleepin’ alone)
Peace hit different when you let go (let go, let go)
Now I’m back in my glow (back in my glow)
Yeah, you drained me, baby, I won’t lie (won’t lie)
Had me questionin’ my mind (my mind)
But God said “that’s enough this time,” (this time)
And I finally listened right (finally listened right)
(Oooh, you gon’ see my name, yeah)
You’ll see my name and it’ll sting (sting, sting)
When you realize what you lost in me (in me, yeah)
I was the heart, the home, the dream (the dream)
But I had to wake up and choose me (choose me… choose me)
I chose me first (I chose me)
After all that hurt (after all that hurt)
You broke my heart, but I found my worth (found my worth, yeah)
Now I’m healed and it feels like church (church, yeah yeah)
I gave you love, you gave me lessons (lessons)
Now I’m countin’ me as a blessin’ (blessin’)
You lost your turn, I’m done rehearsin’ (done rehearsin’)
This time, I chose me first (me first, me first, yeah)
(Mmm…)
Peace over pain… yeah
Healing over games…
Love ain’t supposed to feel that way.
I forgive you, but I’m gone (I’m gone)
I’m stronger now on my own (yeah)
‘Cause I chose me first…
I chose me first…
(First, yeah…)
