Still, I choose you

**Verse I**

I used to think love was a wound

Something you survive, not something you choose

But you stand like the tide at my feet

Never pulling me under, just teaching me peace

Every quiet moment finally makes sense

When your name rests on my breath

**Pre-Chorus**

If the world goes quiet

I don’t feel afraid

You’re the calm in my chest

Where the noise used to stay

**Chorus**

Still, I choose you

Not out of fear or need

But because my heart

Has learned how to breathe

I don’t fall apart

I don’t lose my truth

I stand in the light

And still, I choose you

**Verse II**

You don’t ask me to be less than I am

You don’t call my strength a sin

Every version of me gets to stay

And somehow I’m more when you’re in

I don’t beg the night to end

I just let the morning in

**Pre-Chorus**

If love is devotion

Let it feel like rest

Not a knife in the ribs

But a hand on the chest

**Chorus**

Still, I choose you

With my eyes open wide

No blood in the promise

No place left to hide

I don’t disappear

I don’t lose my youth

I grow into myself

And still, I choose you

**Bridge (Soft build → swell)**

We don’t burn just to feel alive

We don’t break just to prove we tried

If this is forever, let it be kind

Let it be warm, let it be mine

**Final Chorus (Lifted / Expansive)**

Still, I choose you

In the calm, in the flame

In the ordinary moments

Where the sacred remains

I give you my heart

But I keep it true

I walk beside you

Still, I choose you

**Outro**

If love is a vow

Let it sound like this:

A life that feels gentle

And a future we kiss
