The Choice I Made

[Verse 1]
I was with a man who cheated on me,
Tired of the lies, tired of the repeat.
So I crossed that line, yeah, I cheated too,
Didn’t mean to fall — but I fell for you.

They say he found out, said he’d take your life,
If you didn’t leave, if you didn’t hide.
You moved hours away, but I still came through,
Couldn’t stop myself from wanting you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Two hearts, one truth,
One bleeding lie I can’t undo.
In the dark, I chose my cage,
But I still see your face.

[Chorus]
Did I make the right choice, baby?
Or did I lose the real me?
I stayed with the one who broke me down,
But you still haunt my dreams.
I tell myself I had to stay,
For the love I built, not the love that strayed.
But even after all these years,
You’re still the one I crave.

[Verse 2]
I hid my affair, locked it in my chest,
Buried the truth, tried to forget.
Never spoke a word, never let it out,
But silence screams the loudest sound.

You were freedom, you were wrong,
But right never felt so strong.
And every night I lie awake,
Wonderin’ which heart I should’ve saved.

[Pre-Chorus]
Two hearts, one truth,
One bleeding lie I can’t undo.
I chose the past, I chose the pain,
Still whisper your name.

[Chorus]
Did I make the right choice, baby?
Or did I lose the real me?
I stayed with the one who broke me down,
But you still haunt my dreams.
I tell myself I had to stay,
For the love I built, not the love that strayed.
But even after all these years,
You’re still the one I crave.

[Bridge]
If love was fair, I’d have both hands free,
But I’m chained to what’s expected of me.
You were my sin, my sweetest escape,
Now I’m lying beside the man I betrayed.

[Final Chorus]
Did I make the right choice, baby?
Or did I lose the real me?
I built a life on borrowed time,
And called it destiny.
I tell myself I had to stay,
For the love I built, not the love that strayed.
But even after all these years,
You’re still the one I crave.

[Outro]
I have to believe I did…
But I still dream of what we missed.
I have to believe I did…
Even if my heart says I didn’t.
