Choosing Me (Goodbye Fred) (Remix)

Fred... Fred... Fred...

Mayo, after ten years of this pain

I have to choose myself now

I thank you for the years we shared, the good and the bad

But this marriage is hurting me, making me sad

Natotela for the children, they are a blessing from above

But I cannot stay where there is no respect, only fake love

Every morning at three, four, five, you walk out the door

I don't even know who you are, Fred, I can't do this anymore

You have so many secret lives, so many women in the dark

While I sit here in the silence, waiting for a spark

So I am leaving, Fred, I am finding my peace

This ten-year contract of pain has to cease

I am choosing myself, I am learning to fight

Walking out of the shadow and into the light

Natotela for the strength, now I know my own worth

I am finding the peace I deserve on this earth

Look at all the things you made me pass through as your wife

But it made me a soldier, gave me new life

You are a stranger to me, after all of this time

But I won't complain again, the mountain I will climb

I hope one day you look back and see why I had to go

And find a woman who will love you genuinely, I hope so

But for me, I am packing my bags, no more tears to cry

Muli shani to my future, Fred, goodbye

So I am leaving, Fred, I am finding my peace

This ten-year contract of pain has to cease

I am choosing myself, I am learning to fight

Walking out of the shadow and into the light

Natotela for the strength, now I know my own worth

I am finding the peace I deserve on this earth

Fred, I loved you genuinely...

But now I love myself more

No more boza, no more tears

Peace be with you

Goodbye, Fred
