[Verse 1]
You wrote your name
On the inside of my ribs
Swore we'd meet again
In a hundred different lives
But this one feels
Like a door I can't reopen
Bars and numbers
On the wrong side of the time
[Chorus]
My soul longs to be with you
But I have to walk away
Every part of me remembers
What my mind can't let me stay
If our love carries through lifetimes
Maybe next one you'll be free
Right now my head says go
So I'm choosing me
[Verse 2]
I sent you letters
Till the words felt like a chain
Waiting in the silence
While the world kept saying "change"
I tried to freeze
Every moment we had breathing
But pigs don’t fly
Despite what you told me
[Chorus]
My soul longs to be with you
But I have to walk away
Every part of me remembers
What my mind can't let me stay
If our love carries through lifetimes
Maybe next one you'll be free
Right now my head says go
So I'm choosing me
[Bridge]
You missed my first sober year
I missed your second year inside
Your mother called at midnight
Said you're slipping
Said you cried
I held the phone against my chest
Like maybe you could hear
But all I heard was my own life
Growing louder than my fear (oh)
[Chorus]
My soul longs to be with you
But I have to walk away
Every part of me remembers
What my mind can't let me stay
If our love carries through lifetimes
Maybe next one you'll be free
Right now my head says go
You let go when you left me
If our love carries through lifetimes
It will find you in your dreams
Right now my head says go
So I'm choosing me (I'm choosing me)
[Verse 3]
Silent walls, echoing fears,
Love in shadows, shedding tears.
Forever chained, yet wild and free,
A love that's bound but calls to me.
Walking away from open doors,
Fading whispers on the floors.
Your prison bars, my broken dreams,
Nothing’s ever as it seems.
[Pre-Chorus]
Demons dance in candlelight,
Twirling in the dead of night.
Too good to last, too deep to hide,
Love’s cruel game we can't denounce.
[Chorus]
Soulmates crossing time and space,
Lost in this relentless chase.
Karma’s cruel, this love's a scar,
Burning bright, no matter where we are.
[Bridge]
Holding on to ghostly lives,
Fighting fears that thrive and thrive.
All I want is just to be,
With the one who’s meant for me.
[Outro]
Prison walls may hold you tight,
Yet, my love, you’re my guiding light.
Through lifetimes, through the pain,
I'll love you, again and again.
