[Verse 1] I used to read the distance In every word you’d say Turn a quiet night between us Into something I should save I’d reach before you noticed Hold tighter when you’d move Like love was something I could earn If I had enough to prove [Pre-Chorus] But I don’t need another answer Spoken only when I break I need a love that moves toward me Without being pulled that way [Chorus] Choose me without asking Reach for me on your own Make me feel you’d still come find me If I stopped leading you home Hold me because you need me Not because I need the touch I don’t want a love surrendered After I have begged enough I’m not asking for perfection Just something honest I can trust Choose me because your heart still does Choose me without asking [Verse 2] You say, “I never knew it Had become this hard for you” I say, “I hid behind the hoping And called the hurting through” You tell me you still love me But love has more to show Than words that only find their way When I’m already letting go [Pre-Chorus] I won’t test you with my silence Or disappear to make you chase But I can’t keep drawing maps for you To every part of me that aches [Chorus] Choose me without asking Reach for me on your own Make me feel you’d still come find me If I stopped leading you home Hold me because you need me Not because I need the touch I don’t want a love surrendered After I have begged enough I’m not asking for perfection Just something honest I can trust Choose me because your heart still does Choose me without asking [Bridge] Maybe we can start again here Without promises made in fear Without me searching for affection And you giving just enough to keep me near I’ll meet you in the middle But I won’t carry you across Love should feel like being wanted Not relief that I’m not lost And if you cannot choose me I will finally understand It doesn’t mean that I’m not worthy It just means you’re not where I am [Breakdown] So don’t say it just to save me Don’t hold me out of guilt I would rather face the ending Than live inside a love we had to build From everything I asked for And nothing freely felt [Final Chorus] Choose me without asking Or let me choose myself I won’t keep placing all my value In the hands of someone else Hold me because you want me Not because I’m falling apart I deserve a love that reaches Before I have to bare my heart I’m not asking for perfection Just a truth that’s strong enough Choose me because your heart still does Choose me without asking [Outro] My hand is here beside you But I won’t guide yours into mine Choose me without asking Or let me leave with what is mine
