I Will Choose You

Lyrics

[Intro] My friends [Verse 1] My friends, when the floor gives way You pull my hands from the edge No promise dressed in gold Just the truth you said I have worn my anger like armor I have slept with the door locked tight You stood outside through the worst of me And stayed until I saw the light [Pre-Chorus] If the whole world turns its back I will turn and face it too Every scar that brought me here Is a road that leads to you [Chorus] I will stand beside you When the weight becomes too much I will take the fall beside you When the ground refuses trust Let them count the cost in blood Let them say we're bound to lose I will never leave you stranded I will choose you, I will choose you [Verse 2] My friends, no speeches, no parade Just a jacket in the freezing rain A quiet seat beside my bed When I couldn't say your name You know the parts I tried to bury You know the deals I made with fear Still you call me back to breathing Still you make the distance disappear [Pre-Chorus] If the whole world turns its back I will turn and face it too Every scar that brought me here Is a road that leads to you [Chorus] I will stand beside you When the weight becomes too much I will take the fall beside you When the ground refuses trust Let them count the cost in blood Let them say we're bound to lose I will never leave you stranded I will choose you, I will choose you [Bridge] No throne, no vow, no perfect ending Just your voice cutting through the doubt When my courage starts surrendering You remind me what we're fighting for now [Instrumental] [Fast Virtuosic Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I will stand beside you When the weight becomes too much I will take the fall beside you When the ground refuses trust Let them count the cost in blood Let them say we're bound to lose I will never leave you stranded I will choose you, I will choose you I will stand beside you Even when the years turn hard Whatever price is waiting for us We will meet it where we are My friends, if all we have is us Then that's enough to make it through I will never leave you stranded I will choose you, I will choose you [Outro] My friends Whatever it costs, I stay with you
