I choose love, you chose goodbye

Verse 1

I met you on an ordinary day,

Never knew you’d paint my skies a different way.

You walked into a life so full of gray,

And somehow made the darkness fade away.

You held my hand through every storm and rain,

Stayed beside me through the laughter and the pain.

For six long years, through every rise and fall,

You were the safest place of all.

Pre-Chorus

And I believed that no matter where we’d go,

You’d be the one I’d always know.

Chorus

You brought colors to my world,

When everything was black and white.

You loved me through my broken parts,

And made me feel alright.

But when my heart was hanging by a thread,

When I needed you the most, you left instead.

Still I can’t find a way to hate you,

After all we’ve been through.

I still choose love,

Even though you chose goodbye.

Verse 2

Life became a mountain I could barely climb,

And I was losing pieces of myself with time.

I looked around and reached for you that day,

But the hand I held for years had slipped away.

I won’t pretend it didn’t break my soul,

Or that your leaving didn’t leave a hole.

But every memory still softly remains,

Like sunlight dancing through the pain.

Pre-Chorus

And though you’re gone, I carry what was real,

The kind of love that time can’t steal.

Chorus

You brought colors to my world,

When everything was black and white.

You loved me through my broken parts,

And made me feel alright.

But when my heart was hanging by a thread,

When I needed you the most, you left instead.

Still I can’t find a way to hate you,

After all we’ve been through.

I still choose love,

Even though you chose goodbye.

Bridge

Maybe loving someone isn’t always staying,

Maybe some hearts leave without explaining.

And maybe I’ll never understand the end,

Why my lover couldn’t stay my friend.

But I’d be lying if I said I don’t care,

A part of me still finds you everywhere.

In every song, every road, every year,

You’re gone, but somehow still here.

Final Chorus

You brought colors to my world,

And I’ll be grateful for that light.

For six years you were my home,

My comfort through the night.

Though the ending wasn’t what I dreamed it’d be,

Those memories still mean everything to me.

And if loving you is all that’s left to do,

Then that’s what I’ll do.

I’ll remember all the colors,

Even after they’ve faded from view.

Because I still choose love…

Even when you didn’t choose me too.
