Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned to smile for the room
Hide the ache in my sleeves
Laugh like nothing was wrong
Keep my bruises out of reach
Same blood at the table
Same names on the door
Still I felt like a stranger
Every time I wanted more
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you pulled up my chair
Like you knew what I was
No questions, no damage report
Just a place to be enough
[Chorus]
Chosen family, chosen family
You saw me, you let me be
Chosen family, chosen family
No judgment under that roof for me
You held my hand through the mess
Said, "You can lay it down"
Chosen family, chosen family
I am not hiding now
[Verse 2]
There were nights I went home
With my teeth held tight
Carrying all of those words
Like a stone in my side
But you sent that voice note
Just to ask, "You alright?"
And it cracked something open
In the middle of my life
[Pre-Chorus]
You made room for my pain
Like it had a name
And when I couldn't love myself
You loved me the same
[Chorus]
Chosen family, chosen family
You saw me, you let me be
Chosen family, chosen family
No judgment under that roof for me
You held my hand through the mess
Said, "You can lay it down"
Chosen family, chosen family
I am not hiding now
[Bridge]
So if blood runs cold
And the old words sting
I know where to go
I know who I am with
Not born into peace
I found it in your eyes
Sometimes family is chosen
And that saved my life
[Final Chorus]
Chosen family, chosen family
You saw me, you let me be
Chosen family, chosen family
No judgment under that roof for me
You held my hand through the mess
Said, "You can lay it down"
Chosen family, chosen family
I am not hiding now
