I Choose You Every Day

Mehrnaz, I choose you every day

You walked in, my words got tangled

Coffee cold in my shaking hands

You just laughed, said, “You’re kinda nervous”

I thought, if you only knew how hard I’m trying to stand

You are my heart’s happiness

My sunrise in the middle of the storm

You’re my sunshine on my worst days

The place my broken edges feel warm

Loving you’s the sweetest, greatest heartache

And I’d choose it, I’d choose it every day

We walk slow down that old blacktop road

Holding’ hands, you’re talking about the kids (so loud)

I don’t care, I just keep on watching

That little crinkle by your eyes under the sun

You are my heart’s happiness

My sunrise in the middle of the storm

You’re my sunshine on my worst days

The place my broken edges feel warm

Loving you’s the sweetest, greatest heartache

And I’d choose it, I’d choose it every day

If I lose you, I lose my compass

Every prayer I never learned to say

So I’ll hold you, even when it scares me

Cause some hurts, you hurt for anyway

You are my heart’s happiness

My sunrise in the middle of the storm

You’re my sunshine on my worst days

The place my broken edges feel warm

Loving you’s the sweetest, greatest heartache

Mehrnaz, I choose you every day
