Still Choosing You

Still Choosing You (Caroline)”

(Verse 1)
Summer 2010, golden light, after work,
You said you never go out, never anywhere, it hurt,
So I took your hand, said “come, just one night,”
And we watched the sun disappear into our lives.

(Pre)
Time slowed down in your eyes,
Didn’t want that moment to die…

(Chorus)
What is love in a world that runs away?
It’s holding on when it’s easier to break,
It’s that night I wished would never end,
Finding forever in my best friend.
Through the highs, through the lows, through the weight I put on you,
Sixteen years and I’m still choosing you,
My Caroline… my truth.

(Verse 2)
Snooker hall, you laughed, beat me every game,
Talked all day through your nerves, I loved you the same,
Didn’t need my voice, I was lost in yours,
Knew right then I’d never want more.

(Pre)
Every word felt like home,
Even silence said “you’re not alone”…

(Chorus)
What is love when the world gets hard?
It’s staying close when it falls apart,
It’s every tear, every scar we knew,
Still waking up next to you.
Through the doubts, through the pain, when my mind was at war,
You held me up when I couldn’t anymore,
Sixteen years… I’m yours.

(Bridge)
I know I made it heavy sometimes,
With the shadows living in my mind,
All the places we never went,
All the time that the darkness spent…
But you stayed, you never moved,
And every day I still choose you.

(Break)
Down on one knee by the side of our bed,
“Caroline, will you marry me?” I said,
Again and again ‘til you could see,
You were always my destiny…

(Final Chorus)
What is love? It’s you right here,
After all of these broken years,
Through every storm, every tear we grew,
I found my life in you.
And if I had it all again, I’d do it all the same way too…
Sixteen years and I still do—
My sweet Caroline…
I’m still choosing you.
