Yeah, I finally see it clear
No more room for doubt in here, oh
I spent a lifetime trying to fit inside a frame
Answering to shadows, playing everyone else's game
I was pouring water in a glass that had a leak
Lost in the silence when I needed to speak
But the mirror doesn't lie, it shows the work I've done
I’m stepping out the clouds and walking in the sun
I’m done with the static, I’m done with the noise
Finally finding the power in my own voice
I chose myself, I’m walking through the fire
Raising up the bar, taking my soul higher
I need no stress, I’m clearing out the lane
Dancing through the sun, leaving behind the rain
Yeah, I chose myself, watch me rise above
Filling up my cup with my own kind of love
No more heavy hearts, no more weighted vest
I chose myself, and baby, I need no stress
Used to carry burdens that were never meant for me
Trying to be the anchor, trying to be the sea
But the weight is getting lighter with every step I take
No more giving pieces just for somebody's sake
It’s a new day dawning, watch the horizon glow
I’m planting all the seeds and I’m watching them grow
I don’t need the validation or a seat at their table
I’m writing my own story, and yeah, I’m feeling stable
I chose myself, I’m walking through the fire
Raising up the bar, taking my soul higher
I need no stress, I’m clearing out the lane
Dancing through the sun, leaving behind the rain
Yeah, I chose myself, watch me rise above
Filling up my cup with my own kind of love
No more heavy hearts, no more weighted vest
I chose myself, and baby, I need no stress
Oh, it’s a process, it’s a climb, it’s a change
Sometimes it feels different, yeah, it feels strange
But I’m blooming in the garden that I finally tend
Beginning to realize that I’m my own best friend
Yeah, I need you, peace, I need you, light
Everything is gonna be alright, mmm
So keep the chaos, keep the drama and the schemes
I’m busy building up the structure of my dreams
With my head held high and my spirit feeling free
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here with me
Come here, look at the growth, look at the shine
I’m reclaiming every second that was rightfully mine
I chose myself, I’m walking through the fire
Raising up the bar, taking my soul higher
I need no stress, I’m clearing out the lane
Dancing through the sun, leaving behind the rain
Yeah, I chose myself, watch me rise above
Filling up my cup with my own kind of love
No more heavy hearts, no more weighted vest
I chose myself, and baby, I need no stress
I chose myself, yeah
No more stress, just peace
I’m finally free, baby
I need no stress, mmm, yeah
