[Intro] [Female humming] [Verse 1] I carried winter in my hands Kept every door on quiet chains But morning found me where I stood And asked me what I still could choose [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed promise, no looking back I feel the ground beneath my feet [Chorus] I choose this life now I choose the breath in me I choose this life now And let the locked doors open free [Drop] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] The old ache softens at the edge Like ink released into the sea I leave the weight beside the bed And take the part that still believes [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed promise, no looking back I feel the ground beneath my feet [Chorus] I choose this life now I choose the breath in me I choose this life now And let the locked doors open free [Breakdown] If I tremble, let it pass If I falter, let me stand There is still a road ahead There is still a heart in my hands [Female harmonies] I choose this life now I choose this life now [Final Drop] I choose this life now I choose the breath in me I choose this life now And let the locked doors open free [Outro] [Instrumental piano resolution]
