Wasn’t Your Choice

Verse 1

You said you don’t deserve me

With your head down in your hands

Like walking away was mercy

Like leaving made you a better man

You talked about your demons

And the damage in your past

But I chose every broken piece of you

And I chose you to last

Pre-Chorus

You built your walls so high

Trying to keep me safe from you

But you never understood

What love was meant to do

Chorus

You said I don’t deserve you, but that wasn’t your choice to make

I chose to love your shadows and every mistake

I stood beside your fears when you were too afraid to stand

Held your shaking heart inside my hands

You put back pieces of my heart you never broke

Then shattered it, walked right out the door

You said you don’t deserve me like you were setting me free

But loving you was always my choice, not yours to decide for me

Verse 2

I stayed through every nightmare, every late-night call

Through every silent breakdown, When you felt ten feet small

I was your steady heartbeat, When yours was falling apart

You learned how to love again with me, Then you tore out my heart

Pre-Chorus

You tried to play the hero

By leaving me behind

But running from real love

Is just fear in disguise

Chorus

You said I don’t deserve you, but that wasn’t your choice to make

I chose to love your shadows and every mistake

I stood beside your fears when you were too afraid to stand

Held your shaking heart inside my hands

You put back pieces of my heart you never broke

Then shattered it, walked right out the door

You said you don’t deserve me like you were setting me free

But loving you was always my choice, not yours to decide for me

Bridge

You don’t get to write my ending, don’t get to steal my say

Love ain’t something you surrender, Just because you’re scared to stay

I would’ve fought your battles, carried your pain

But you broke what you helped rebuild, And called it love anyway

Final Chorus

You said I don’t deserve you, but that wasn’t your choice to make

I chose every scar, every risk and every heartbreak

I stood beside your fears when the whole world walked away

I would’ve stayed through every storm and every day

You put back pieces of my heart you never broke

Then shattered it and left me on this floor

You said you don’t deserve me like you were setting me free

But loving you was always my choice…

Not yours to take from me

Outro

Yeah you said you don’t deserve me…

But that was never your choice to make
