You know the words I never say The look that means I'm not okay You hear the silence in my room And somehow still come walking through I've spent my life behind a wall Pretending I don't need it at all But you can see beneath the skin The mess I hide, the shape I'm in You never said you'd make me whole You just sat beside my broken soul And when I couldn't face the truth I found a little strength in you When my head gets loud When my faith wears thin You're the voice that calls me Back to who I've been You're the part of me that stays When the light gets torn away When I lose myself in everything I fear You're the reason I am still here When the world comes crashing through I still find my way to you If my heart breaks open, let it break Our love is the one thing I will never fake Even when the stars burn out above I will choose you, I will choose this love We don't need to dress up the truth I have scars and so do you Some nights we say the wrong things Let our pride pull at the strings But I don't want an easy lie Or a love that leaves when things get wild I'd rather fight to understand Than lose forever what we have So when I shut the whole world out Don't mistake my fear for doubt I'm still learning how to let you in Still learning where the healing begins When my head gets loud When my faith wears thin You're the voice that calls me Back to who I've been You're the part of me that stays When the light gets torn away When I lose myself in everything I fear You're the reason I am still here When the world comes crashing through I still find my way to you If my heart breaks open, let it break Our love is the one thing I will never fake Even when the stars burn out above I will choose you, I will choose this love If someday I forget the man I was If time wears down the things we trust If I can't find the words to say Please hear the promise underneath the pain I won't love you only when I'm strong I won't leave you guessing where we belong When the years have changed us through and through I want the life that still leads back to you I can't stop the world from turning I can't save us from the hurt But I'll be here when the sky stops burning I'll put your heart before my pride YOU'RE THE PART OF ME THAT STAYS WHEN THE LIGHT GETS TORN AWAY WHEN I'M LOST BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF ALL MY FEARS YOU'RE THE REASON I AM STILL HERE WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD BREAKS IN TWO I WILL STILL REACH OUT FOR YOU LET THE YEARS TAKE EVERYTHING WE KNEW I WILL KEEP ON CHOOSING YOU Not because we never fall Not because we have it all But because when all the noise is gone You're the place my heart belongs When the last light disappears When the silence fills our ears If there's one thing time can't move It's the life I built with you You're the part of me that stays Even when we change
