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
