THROUGH

THROUGH [Verse 1] I built my walls and called them dignity You knocked — I didn’t answer for a year You stayed outside through every bitter season Until the stone got tired of my fear I kept my hands clean, kept my distance holy Like being cold could make me strong But every quiet room still held your shadow And every silence knew I was wrong [Pre-Chorus] We are not the same We never were But here we are Still here [Chorus] I broke — you stayed You broke — I learned to stay We burned — we didn’t run That’s how we found our way Through fire, through silence Through every hollow night I chose you in the darkness I choose you in the light [Verse 2] You asked me once how I was — really was I said “I’m fine” and turned my eyes away You knew I lied, but you didn’t tear it open You let the truth arrive in its own way That’s when I knew you weren’t here to save me You weren’t here to make me small You stood beside the wreckage of my anger And never asked me not to fall [Pre-Chorus] We are not the same Thank God we’re not But here we are Still not giving up [Chorus] I broke — you stayed You broke — I learned to stay We burned — we didn’t run That’s how we found our way Through fire, through silence Through every hollow night I chose you in the darkness I choose you in the light [Bridge] Some nights I prayed to something I couldn’t even name Some nights your voice was the only thread That pulled me through the flame I don’t know what held us Grace or stubborn will But it was real It’s real It’s real still And if love is not a rescue If love is not a chain Then maybe love is choosing To come back again [Final Chorus] I broke — you stayed You broke — I learned to stay We burned — we didn’t run We chose to find our way Through fire, through silence Through every hollow night I chose you in the darkness I choose you in the light I broke — you stayed You broke — I learned to stay We lost ourselves and found us Standing face to face Through fire, through silence Through every wounded night I chose you in the darkness I choose you in the light [Outro] I choose you I choose you still I see you I see you still
