Intro
(Allein Piano, leise. Dann sanfte E-Gitarre mit Hall.)
Verse 1 (ruhig, ehrlich, fast zerbrechlich)
I’ve been fighting for the pieces
Trying to mend what’s torn apart
Praying over broken seasons
Holding you with open arms
I said I’d stay through every shadow
Through every storm and every scar
But somewhere in the middle
I forgot who I was
Pre-Chorus (Drums kommen leise rein)
I asked God, “Why does love feel like war?”
Why do I lose myself wanting more?
Chorus (Band öffnet sich – kraftvoll, aber nicht schreiend)
Oh, I can’t love you and love me the same
If loving you means losing my faith
I tried to fix what only God can change
But I can’t save both sides
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I’m breaking mine
And if I have to choose tonight
I choose the light
Verse 2 (mehr Druck im Instrumental)
You say we’re meant to fight for this
That pain is proof it’s real
But love that steals my peace away
Is not the love He wills
I won’t call this hate
I won’t call this pride
Sometimes obedience
Feels like goodbye
Pre-Chorus 2 (mehr Intensität)
He whispered softly in the dark
“Child, guard your heart.”
(Kurzer Instrumental-Build – Gitarren steigen an)
Chorus (größer als zuvor)
Oh, I can’t love you and love me the same
If loving you means drowning in shame
I gave it all, I gave my name
But I can’t save both sides
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I’m breaking mine
And if I have to choose tonight
I choose the light
Bridge (Halftime Drums, große Gitarren – emotionaler Höhepunkt)
Sometimes love means letting go
Sometimes faith means walking slow
Through the fire, through the ache
Trusting God with what He takes
I wanted us
I won’t lie
But I won’t die
To keep you by my side
Final Chorus (volle Band, Background Vocals optional Gospel-Style)
Oh, I can’t love you and love me the same
If loving you dims Heaven’s flame
I surrender you to His name
I can’t save both sides
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I trust His plan
And if I have to lose your hand
I’ll hold His instead
I choose the light
I choose the light
Outro
(Nur Piano wieder. Ruhig.)
I wanted forever
But God wants me whole
Endi
