[Intro]
We started with a distance neither one could name
Three hearts in one house, learning different ways
[Verse 1]
You kept your guard up, I wore mine like steel
Every small collision showed us what was real
I wasn’t your answer, you weren’t mine to shape
So we took the long road, learning how to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
A slammed door, a hard word, then the quiet afterward
Piece by piece we found the truth beneath the scars
[Chorus]
I will be there when the ground gives way
When you lose your direction, when you’re afraid
We’re still building something time can’t erase
Two sons, two fires, and a place in my heart that stays
Love isn’t instant, it’s the choice we make
I’ll choose you tomorrow, and every day after today
[Verse 2]
I learned your silence, you learned when I bend
Trust came slowly, but it came in the end
Not every moment fits a picture-perfect frame
Still, I see us changing every time you say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need perfection, just the courage to repair
A hand across the distance says, I’m still here
[Chorus]
I will be there when the ground gives way
When you lose your direction, when you’re afraid
We’re still building something time can’t erase
Two sons, two fires, and a place in my heart that stays
Love isn’t instant, it’s the choice we make
I’ll choose you tomorrow, and every day after today
[Breakdown]
No bloodline can define what we have become
No rough beginning can undo what we’ve done
If the world comes crashing through your door
You won’t face it alone anymore
I’ll stand in the wreckage
I’ll hold the line
You are my family
You are mine
[Bridge]
We’re not finished, we’re still becoming
Every apology, every honest conversation
Turns the distance into something we can cross
Turns what we almost lost into what we’ve got
[Final Chorus]
I will be there when the ground gives way
When you lose your direction, when you’re afraid
We’re still building something time can’t erase
Two sons, two fires, and a place in my heart that stays
Love keeps growing in the work we make
I’ll choose you tomorrow, and every day after today
[Outro]
If you ever wonder where you belong
Look beside you—I’ve been here all along
