Head over heels, you swept me off my feet, Butterflies and a heartbeat that skips a beat. Love at first sight - then love went blind, Plenty of fish, so you left me behind. They told me love hurts, love's a battlefield, A losing game with a hand I'd never reveal. I fell so hard, then I fell back out, Like gravity's all that love's about. But what goes up has to come back down - If love is a fall, then love's never found. So I didn't fall - I chose to stay, Love's an act of the will, not a slip away. It's patient, it's kind, it covers, it bears, It hopes, it trusts, it's always there. Let the whole world keep falling out of love - I'm standing in the kind you rise above. No, I didn't fall... I chose to stay. It doesn't envy, doesn't boast or brag, Doesn't keep a ledger, doesn't wave a flag. Not self-seeking, not quick to ignite, Won't dance on your downfall and call it right. No "me first," no swelled-up head, It protects what's fragile, it means what it said. Not "happily ever after" in a fairy-tale glow - A love that stays when the credits won't roll. But what goes up has to come back down - If love is a fall, then love's never found. So I didn't fall - I chose to stay, Love's an act of the will, not a slip away. It's patient, it's kind, it covers, it bears, It hopes, it trusts, it's always there. Let the whole world keep falling out of love - I'm standing in the kind you rise above. No, I didn't fall... I chose to stay. You can't hurt what you've chosen to hold, You can't lose what you never let go. Absence won't make this wander or fade - This isn't luck, it's a promise I made. It rejoices with truth, it never gives in, Perseveres to the end... then starts over again. So I won't fall - I'll choose to stay, An act of the will, and it's here to stay. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, Never looks back, just keeps going to the close. Let the whole world keep falling out of love - I'm standing in the kind that's enough. No, I didn't fall... I chose to stay.
