[Verse 1]
I was a fool, I let the good days pass
Held your heart like something built to last
Never stopped to count the ways you stayed
While I was busy throwing love away
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every quiet room says your name
And I can’t hide from what I became
If you give me one more chance tonight
I’ll spend my whole life making it right
[Chorus]
I didn’t know how much I loved you
Till the distance put your truth in view
Never again, I won’t let you go
You’re the only home my heart has known
With whatever life is left in me
I’ll show you what you mean to me
Not just with words I say when I’m afraid
But every day, in every choice I make
[Verse 2]
I remember how you softened every fight
Left the porch lamp on when I came home late at night
You knew the parts of me I tried to hide
Still you reached for me and stood by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see the mercy in your eyes
The kind of love I nearly left behind
If you let me walk beside you again
I’ll be more than sorry—I’ll be your friend
[Chorus]
I didn’t know how much I loved you
Till the distance put your truth in view
Never again, I won’t let you go
You’re the only home my heart has known
With whatever life is left in me
I’ll show you what you mean to me
Not just with words I say when I’m afraid
But every day, in every choice I make
[Bridge]
I can’t rewrite the nights I made you cry
But I can meet you with an honest life
No grand promise that fades by morning light
Just steady hands, and staying by your side
[Final Chorus]
Now I know just how much I love you
Every breath keeps leading me to you
Never again, I won’t let you go
I’ll protect the trust we’re learning to grow
With whatever life is left in me
I’ll give you all you’ve given me
And if my heart has one more song to prove
It will say, my love, I choose you
[Outro]
I choose you
For all my days, I choose you
