Verse 1 I remember cheap nights and dashboard lights Talking like the world was ours to steal You were tired, I was terrified Both pretending we knew how to heal We built a life from overdue dreams Late bills and half-broken plans Somehow your hand kept finding mine Like you already understood who I am Pre-Chorus And time keeps moving faster now The boys keep growing up somehow But every version life puts me through Still circles back to you Chorus If the whole world burns down to smoke If the highs fade out and the strong hearts choke If all we have is this beat-up room I still choose you When I’m hard to love and hard to reach When silence says more than we speak When everything changes except the truth I still choose you Verse 2 You’ve seen every unfinished part Every storm I tried to hide The chaos, the anger, the overthinking And stayed right there beside me through the night Some days we’re laughter in the kitchen Some days survival in disguise But love was never picture perfect It’s just refusing to say goodbye Pre-Chorus And maybe that’s the real thing Not diamonds, not movie scenes Just two tired souls learning how To keep showing up now Chorus If the whole world burns down to smoke If the highs fade out and the strong hearts choke If all we have is this beat-up room I still choose you When I’m hard to love and hard to reach When silence says more than we speak When everything changes except the truth I still choose you Bridge And I know we’re not the same people We were back in 2018 Life carved lines into our hearts But you still look at me like I’m a dream And maybe forever isn’t magic Maybe it’s dishes and late-night talks Maybe it’s staying when it gets messy Maybe real love simply doesn’t walk Final Chorus So if our hair turns gray too soon And the house gets quiet one day in June If all that’s left are memories and proof I’ll still choose you After every fight and every scar Every almost-break and healing heart In every lifetime I make it through I still choose you Outro You’re my safest place My best friend too And after everything I still choose you
