Still Choose You (intimate)

(SEC:INTRO)
(INST:pno soft+pad air)
(VOC:M close raspy)

We almost lost everything…

(SEC:V1)
(INST:pno)

We both said words that cut too deep
Both broke promises we swore to keep
You hurt me worse than anyone
And I hurt you till the damage was done

That night they took my truck away
Felt like you took my trust that day
I should’ve walked, I should’ve run
But my heart never came undone

(SEC:PRE1)
(INST:str low swell)

I tried to hate you, tried to leave
But love like ours don’t scare that easy

(SEC:CH1)
(INST:kik soft+bs sub)

You broke me, yeah that’s true
But I still choose you
Through every scar and every bruise
After all we put each other through

This ain’t blind, this ain’t pretend
It’s knowing the worst and loving again
I’m not weak for seeing it through
After everything…
I still choose you

(SEC:V2)
(INST:rim+eg swl)

We both got blood on these hands
Both crossed lines we didn’t plan
But who wants love that’s safe and small
That runs the second it starts to fall

Forever ain’t some fairy tale
It’s staying when the storms set sail
And I won’t quit on what we could be
Just ‘cause it once broke me

(SEC:BRG)
(INST:drop drums pno+str)

I forgave you not ‘cause I’m blind
But ‘cause I’ve seen the other side
If love’s a war then I stand tall
I’ll fight for us, I won’t let it fall

(SEC:CH2 BIG)
(INST:full dr+pad wide+eg lift+vox stk)

You broke me, yeah that’s true
But I still choose you
Through betrayal, smoke and truth
Through every version of me and you

Love ain’t soft, it’s earned in fire
Standing back up when you’re tired
This ain’t weakness, this is proof
After everything…
I still choose you

(OUTRO)
(INST:pno solo)
Always you.
