I Choose You Back

I’ve walked through hell with my hands untied,

Carried my ghosts like they were mine to hide.

I learned to stand when the ground gave way.

But no one asked if I was okay.

So if you come back with your shadows,

I won’t turn you from the door.

If you fall through the static,

I’ll meet you on the floor.

You take the weight of my past in your hands

You've held it all along.

You wear my scars like embers in sand.

They’re where my strength was born.

If this is war, then love is my truth.

And I’ll stand in it with you.

Because every scar on me you choose…

I choose you back. I choose you too.

I’ve been the fire, the fury, the fall,

The girl who rose when she lost it all.

But you saw the parts I never let breathe—

The soft, the scared, the broken in me.

[Woman] So if you come back not perfect,

I won’t ask you to pretend.

Just say my name with love in your breath.

I’ll be there again.

[Woman] I don’t need perfection. I just need real.

[Man] Then take my truth and let it heal.

[Woman] We weren’t born from peace—but we rose with the flame.

[Man] And I’ll burn bright if you call my name. So call my name.

[Woman] You take the weight of my past in your hands—

[Man] I’ll carry what you can’t.

[Woman] You wear my scars like embers in sand.

[Man] They’re proof you will always stand.

[Man] If this is war, then love is our fuse.

[Woman] Then light it, I promise I won’t move.

[Man and woman] Because for every scar that you refuse to lose…

[Woman] I choose you back.

[Man] I choose you too.

[Woman] I will always choose you.

[Woman, spoken softly] I will always choose you. I'll always choose you.

Outro — Soft, fading, spoken over guitar

(Woman, whisper) You don’t have to be whole to be mine.

(Man, soft) Then let’s be real, not perfect, this time.
