We chose us

Verse 1 We used to laugh and call it fate Just two hearts standing at the gate We swore that love was not our part Too scared to risk a fragile heart Verse 2 The years went by, you stayed right here Closer than anyone, year after year We hid the truth behind a smile Pretending distance was worthwhile Pre-Chorus Every time you walked away I felt the silence make me stay I tried to find somebody new But every road just led to you Chorus After the fire, after the pain After the losses, after the rain We’re standing stronger than before Opening up a locked door I choose you when the light grows dim I choose you when the hope feels thin Even when loving you feels hard I’d rather fight than drop my guard Bridge Let them say we took too long That we were right but got it wrong Every scar and every bruise Led me back to loving you Final Chorus After the doubt, after the fear After the distance year by year We don’t choose this because it’s easy or new We choose it because it’s me and you
