My heart still chooses you

I loved you in a way

That I don't think I'll ever love again

You held my heart so gently

But you didn't stay 'til the end

I still remember every moment

The laughter, the warmth, the way you smiled

I didn't know I was losing you

I didn't see you fading the whole time

And maybe I wasn't enough

Or maybe you were scared to stay

But it's hard to breathe in a world

You once promised wouldn't change

'Cause loving you still feels like falling

Like hitting the ground in slow motion

You left me here with memories

Filled with too much emotion

And even though you walked away

Even though you broke me in two

I don't know how I'm supposed to heal

When my heart still chooses you

I still replay your last words

Like they're carved into my skin

You said you needed space

But I never learned how to live without you in it

Nights feel longer now, yeah

Mornings feel colder too

I keep reaching for something

That still feels like you

Everyone keeps telling me

Time will take the pain away

But they don't know how it feels

To lose you every day

Loving you still feels like falling (falling)

Like hitting the ground in slow motion (oh)

You left me here with memories

Filled with too much emotion (oh)

And even though you walked away (yeah)

Even though you broke me in two (oh)

I don't know how I'm supposed to heal (oh)

When my heart still chooses you

If I could go back in time

I'd hold you a little tighter

I'd tell you you're my only peace

My light, my warmth, my fire

But I guess I loved you softly

While you loved me like goodbye

And now I'm left holding pieces

Of a future that already died

Loving you still feels like falling

Like trying to stand with shaking knees
