I Choose You Slowly

Verse 1 There’s a quiet in the way you say my name Like the world leans in just to listen Every scar I tried to hide away Feels lighter when you’re near me Pre-Chorus I was taught that love was something fast Like a fire that fades too soon But you move like dawn across my past Soft, steady, true Chorus I choose you slowly With my whole heart open wide Every fear I’ve been holding Falls away when your hand’s in mine If time keeps asking questions I’ll answer the same each day I choose you slowly But I’ll choose you always Verse 2 I’ve been standing on the edge of hope Afraid to fall, afraid to stay But you never asked me to be whole You just loved me anyway Pre-Chorus Every step I’ve been afraid to take You walk beside, not ahead You don’t rush what we’re meant to make You let it live Chorus I choose you slowly Like the tide learns how to rise Through the doubts, through the waiting Through the long and fragile nights If the world keeps changing And nothing feels the same I choose you slowly But I’ll choose you always Bridge If my voice starts to shake If my faith starts to bend Promise me you’ll stay Not to fix me — just to stand I don’t need forever promised all at once Just give me now, and now, and now Final Chorus (soft, then swell) I choose you slowly With a love that learns to stay Not because it’s easy But because it feels like home this way Let the years keep turning Let the sky change its hue I choose you slowly Every day, I choose you Outro And if my heart forgets how to fly Teach it again, gently, with you
