I Chose You Anyway lyrics

I knew love could break me down Leave me crying on the ground I knew hearts don't always stay But I chose you anyway I chose you, not by fate Not by dreams I hoped you'd make I chose you through every doubt Even knowing how it'd play out Some loves come, some loves fade But man, I chose you anyway You weren't perfect, neither was I But you made me feel alive Every scar and every flame Still I'd choose you just the same I chose you, not to win Not to change who you had been I chose love, not a game Even if I lose my name Some things hurt, some things stay But love, I chose you anyway And if I'm left with nothing more Than the memory of your face Let the world forget our song But I'll never call it a mistake I chose you, with all the weight With open hands, with no escape I chose truth, not easy days I chose fire, not just a flame Even now, through all the grey I still choose you Every day
