Ghost & Gods OF My Name

I still choose You

“I Still Choose You — The Real Version”

We didn’t start with easy days,

no gentle laughs or simple ways.

We came in hard, we came in rough—

two worn-out souls who’d had enough.

And maybe that is why it stung,

the times you left when I was rung.

’Cause you weren’t just some face I knew—

I built a whole damn life with you.

You carry guilt you never say,

you haul it with you every day.

But I’m not here to make you pay—

I’m here because I choose to stay.

I see the weight you never name,

the tired eyes, the hidden shame.

You take on more than people see,

and act like pain ain’t meant to be.

And still my heart comes back to you,

through everything we’ve pushed and chewed.

My love is stubborn, strong, and true—

no matter what, I choose you too.

We’ve scarred each other, that’s just real;

we’ve had some things we had to heal.

But love like ours don’t walk away—

it bends, it fights, it learns to stay.

So let the past lay where it died,

quit dragging it around inside.

Stand here with me like you’re meant to—

I’m not against you, I’m with you.

If hurt could break us, we’d be done.

If pain could end us, we’d have run.

But here we are, still side by side—

still holding on instead of pride.

I loved you then, I love you still,

I always have, I always will.

Through everything that we’ve been through—

the truth stays simple:

I choose you.
