Where I Choose to Stay

I know I haven’t always said the right things

Let my fears do the talking for me

I’ve stumbled, I’ve fallen, I’ve caused you pain

And I hate that I made it that way

But every mistake showed me the truth

That loving you is what I choose

I’m sorry for the times I broke your trust

For the words I said, the nights it was rough

But please know this comes straight from my heart

I love you more than I knew from the start

I don’t want a world where you’re not near

I want you, always right here

You see me when I’m at my worst

Still believe in me first

You hold my hand when I doubt myself

Remind me I don’t have to be anyone else

I’m learning, I’m growing, I’m trying again

To be better than who I’ve been

I’m sorry for the tears, the misunderstandings

For not always showing you what you mean

But every beat of my heart is true

Every dream I have includes you

If love is a promise I’ll never break

Then forever is the vow I’ll make

I can’t erase the past, I know

But I can love you deeper as we go

I’ll listen more, I’ll fight for us

I’ll prove my words through actions, not just trust

I care about you more than I can say

You’re the reason I want to stay

Through every high, through every fall

I want to be the one you call

I’m not perfect, but my love is real

And my heart is yours always will be

If you ever doubt, just look at me

I’m right here… choosing you, endlessly
