[Intro] You just started a new song... Thinking I'd keep holding on. Kept that same old beat You knew could pull me along... But I heard it. I heard you. All along. [Verse 1] You cried the same lies You once used to help me breathe, Sang them soft across the water Like you knew I'd never leave. I was a lover of signs, Of things no one else could see... You never thought the one you fooled Would learn your melody. You tried and you tried To make me believe... Lie after cry— The siren's beat. [Pre-Chorus] I knew what I was chasing. You thought I couldn't see. I knew there were teeth Behind that beautiful melody. [Chorus] But I chose to love the siren. I believe in you. Not because I couldn't see the madness— Because I finally saw through. I saw what made you sing that way. I saw what made you bleed. I saw beneath the monster To what taught you how to be. No one else may ever see it... But I do. I chose to love the siren. I chose you. [Verse 2] You thought I wanted saving, Thought I'd drown to reach the shore. But I wasn't chasing heaven— I was asking something more. What broke you? What changed you? Who taught your heart to hide? Who taught you love was something That had to wear a lie? I know what I want Beyond anyone's belief. Not the song. Not the ocean. The soul underneath. [Chorus] I chose to love the siren. Knowing what you do. Knowing every beautiful note Could drag me under too. I see what caused the madness. I love what made you believe. Not every broken creature Needs another one to leave. [Bridge] Maybe that's the madness... Maybe that's the truth. To see somebody clearly And still leave room for you. Not blind. Not fooled. Not begging at your sea. I know exactly what you are— And exactly who I'll be. [Final Verse] Everyone keeps chasing Something across the land and sea, Never stopping long enough To ask who they're choosing to be. They chase the shore. They chase the song. They chase whatever sets them free. I stopped... And looked into the water. And the water looked at me. [Final Chorus] So sing, siren... Sing. I know your melody. You don't have to lie Just to make me believe. I've heard the cry beneath the song. I've seen beneath the sea. And if I choose to love you now— That's my choice... Not your spell on me. [Outro] No one else may ever see... No one else has to believe. I chose to love the siren... But I finally chose me.
