Chosen

CHOSEN (Final EP Version)

(Intro – Spoken)

It’s quiet now…

not the kind that hurts…

the kind that lets me hear myself

---

(Carryover – from The Edge, soft)

I was standing on the edge of it all…

one step closer to losing myself

---

(Verse 1)

It’s the last wave of the hurt, and it’s fading out

I’m alone with all the truth I couldn’t face before now

At the end of all the breaking, I’m just still

Nothing left to say… just trying to feel

And somewhere in the silence… something shifts

---

(Pre-Chorus)

I kept reaching out, you kept pulling away

I was losing myself trying to make you stay

I thought love meant holding on no matter what it cost

Didn’t know I’d find myself in everything I lost

---

(Chorus)

I can love you and still choose me

That’s something I never knew I could be

I won’t stand here waiting for you to decide

I’m not losing myself just to stay by your side

You can say you want me, I hear it now

But I need more than words… I need you to show me how

I’m not who I was when you let me go

I found my strength in letting it show

---

(Verse 2)

I don’t feel the weight I used to carry around

I’m not second-guessing every move I make now

I can breathe a little deeper, I can finally let go

I’m not hiding who I am… I’m letting it show

---

(Bridge)

I can’t stand in the doorway while you figure it out

I won’t live in the space of your maybe somehow

I’ve given enough just waiting in between

Now I’m choosing myself… and what that means

---

(Chorus – Final)

I can love you and still choose me

That’s something I never knew I could be

I won’t stand here waiting for you to decide

I’m not losing myself just to stay by your side

You can say you want me, I hear it now

But I need more than words… I need you to show me how

I’m not who I was when you let me go

I found my strength in letting it show

---

(Outro)

I can love you…

and still choose me
