it hurts (but i chose me) - nyssara lyrics
[intro]
i loved you into pieces
but i put myself back together
[verse 1]
i was holding up your world with shaking hands
loving you was living in quicksand
i kept drowning just to keep us breathing
called it love — but it was me bleeding
you were the storm i tried to calm
hurt me then told me to stay strong
but love don’t bloom where the roots can’t grow
and i was watering pain i should’ve let go
[pre*chorus]
i gave more than a heart should give
forgot how it felt just to live
but the moment i stepped out the fire
i saw the woman i became inside it
[chorus]
it hurt, but i chose me
yeah, the tears fell heavy, but i’m free
you took pieces i can’t reclaim
but losing you saved what remained
i loved hard — too hard — too deep
but now i kiss my wounds to sleep
it hurt… yeah, it hurt…
but i chose me
[verse 2 – darker visual storytelling]
the kids asked why your voice got soft
why your chair stayed cold at the table
i held them close while i broke quiet
turned heartbreak into something stable
i stitched myself with prayers at night
held my tears in the car before the light
i learned love ain’t love if it costs your soul
and i’d rather heal than lose control
[pre*chorus]
i held on while i was fading thin
but pain taught me how to rise again
and god don’t take — he replaces better
i just had to let go to get there
[chorus]
it hurt, but i chose me
yeah, i fell, but i rose back to my feet
you took comfort, i took scars —
but i turned them into art
i loved like the whole sky was mine
now i shine without your light
it hurt… yeah it hurt…
but i chose me
[bridge]
not broken…
unfolded
not wounded…
anointed
not abandoned…
reborn
[final chorus]
it hurt, but i chose me
and i finally know what peace means
my babies gon’ look up and see
a woman who never stopped being
i loved like it was sacred —
now i give that love to me
it hurt, yeah it hurt…
but i chose me
[outro]
i didn’t lose love…
i learned it
