🎵 “I Chose You” 🎵
[Verse 1]
I laid my heart down, no disguise
Told you the truth, looked in your eyes
Didn’t play games, didn’t run
I was the one who didn’t come undone
I told you I loved you, not in fear
Said it soft, said it clear
While you were torn between the past
I was offering something that could last
[Chorus]
But you went back to what you knew
Even if it was breaking you
And I stood there with nothing left
But the words I meant with every breath
I didn’t wait for a perfect time
I told you love and crossed that line
You can’t say I didn’t try
You just weren’t ready for my kind
[Verse 2]
You said I was one of your best friends
But we both know that’s not where this ends
’Cause friends don’t kiss like we used to do
Friends don’t burn the way I burned for you
I gave you a glimpse of peace, of home
But you chose comfort in the unknown
Maybe safe feels like love to you
But I was real — and you knew too
[Chorus]
Still, you went back to what you knew
Even if it keeps wounding you
I didn’t ask for guarantees
Just a chance to help you breathe
I told you love with steady hands
You walked away, but I still stand
And if you wonder if it was true —
Just know I chose you
[Bridge]
Maybe one day you’ll look behind
And see the love you couldn’t find
’Cause I was there — not just in dreams
But in the silence, in the in-betweens
[Final Chorus]
You went back to what you knew
But I still love you from this view
Not begging, not breaking — just free
Still loving you, quietly
I didn’t lose, I didn’t fall
I gave you everything, gave it all
And even if we’re through…
You should know —
I chose you.
