[Verse 1]
Pills on the counter
Weigh more than our past
You’re shaking
I’m silent
Both waiting to crash
Your mom says I’m poison
My dad says you’ll run
Two broken believers
Staring straight at the sun
[Chorus]
We’re fighting the ghosts in our blood
Every goodbye
Every flood
Every “you’ll fail
” every stare in disgust
Against all odds
We choose us
Hand in the fire
Hand on your heart
We’re learning to live with these scars
Everyone’s betting we’ll fall apart
Against all odds
We choose us
[Verse 2]
You circle my wristband
From last rehab stay
Ask
“Are you still with me
Or already gone away?”
I swear on the shaking
You see in my hands
I’m done with the chasing
Just want one last chance
[Chorus]
We’re fighting the ghosts in our blood
Every goodbye
Every flood
Every “you’ll fail
” every stare in disgust
Against all odds
We choose us
Hand in the fire
Hand on your heart
We’re learning to live with these scars
Everyone’s betting we’ll fall apart
Against all odds
We choose us
[Bridge]
They don’t see the nights
You count my breaths till dawn (oh)
They don’t hear you pray
When the cravings get strong
If love is a war
Then we’re coming back armed
With one day
One step
One promise at a time
[Chorus]
We’re fighting the ghosts in our blood
Every goodbye
Every flood
Every “you’ll fail
” every stare in disgust
Against all odds
We choose us (we choose us)
Hand in the fire
Hand on your heart
We’re staying right here in the dark
Till morning proves we were more than our past
Against all odds
We choose us (we choose us)
