I STILL CHOOSE YOU

All a woman truly needs is the man who can see through her darkness. Thank you, God, for sending her my way, because she saved me.

LYRICS
Remember that night you swore the texts were lies?
Said you were a storm cloud darkening my skies.
You packed your bags with trembling hands, so convinced,
That you were the ruin, not the gift in the midst.
I watched you build a wall, brick by bitter brick,
Pushin' love away with a self-hating trick.
You'd pick a fight just to have a reason to go,
Sayin' you were savin' me from a future of woe.
But baby, your darkness? I already knew.
I signed up for all of you, the false and the true.

And you didn't know, you didn't see,
The anchor you were to the ship in me.
You thought you were broken, not worth the fight,
But you're the melody that makes my life right.
So let the whole world hear this truth, loud and clear…
I still choose you, Angelica
Your wounds, your wars, I still choose you.

You'd shut down for days, silence thick as a knife,
Thinkin' solitude was protectin' my life.
You called it "your baggage," a weight I shouldn't bear,
But you never let me lift it, just left it right there.
That fear in your eyes when I'd get too close,
Like happiness was a ghost you feared the most.
You'd sabotage sunrise 'cause you trusted the night,
Convinced your own shadows would blot out my light.
But my love wasn't a house with a fragile frame.
It was built for your weather, your hurricane.

And you didn't know, you didn't see,
The anchor you were to the ship in me.
You thought you were broken, not worth the fight,
But you're the melody that makes my life right.
So let the whole world hear this truth, loud and clear…
I still choose you, Angelica
Your scars, your stars, I still choose you.

So to any man listening, who sees that same fright…
The push and the pull in the dead of the night…
Don't just say you're staying. You gotta show the proof.
Be the steady ground 'neath her worn-out shoes.
And to any woman hearing this, feeling that sting…
Of old wounds whispering you don't deserve a thing…
Hear me tell Angelica, what I'm tellin' you now…
The right love doesn't falter when you show him how
The heart got cracked. It just pours more light in the break.
For real love's sake.

(Outro)
This is my public vow, no more doubts in between…
You're my always, my always, my queen…
I choose the messy mornings, the silent tears…
I choose conquering together, all your hidden fears…
Angelica… (I choose you)
Through every old ghost… (I choose you)
Every doubt you host… (I choose you)
Let this song be the proof…
My love ain't a rumor…
It's a rescue mission, baby…
And I'm still on duty…
Yeah… I still choose…
