[Intro]
I could have taken the easy hands
warm for a night, gone by the dawn
But your name cut through all the noise
and left me nowhere else to run

[Verse 1]
You were never the kind that begged for rescue
never dressed your truth in light
You stood there with your faults uncovered
and still looked harder to deny
I knew loving you would cost me
sleep, excuses, borrowed skin
Like pulling iron from my own chest
just to feel my heart again

[Chorus]
If choosing you feels like dying
then let it take what I don’t need
Let it kill the cheap desires
let it strip the lie from me
I’d rather break beside the right one
than live untouched with someone kind
If choosing you feels like dying
then maybe that’s how truth survives

[Verse 2]
You don’t flatter the weakest parts of me
you press where the damage lives
You ask for more than pretty words
more than a man who only gives
half his nerve, half his promise
half a life behind his teeth
With you there’s no place left for hiding
no soft landing underneath

[Bridge]
Maybe love was never meant
to leave a man exactly as he came
Maybe the right one doesn’t save you
maybe she burns away the fake
And every step toward something real
feels like a wound before relief
But I can hear a better man
trying to breathe inside of me

[Interlude]
No easy road
no painless vow
I want the fire
I want it now

[Final Chorus]
If choosing you feels like dying
then let it end the fear I feed
Let it kill the lesser version
that kept love on a shorter leash
I’d rather fall into the right hands
than stand untouched my whole life through
If choosing you feels like dying
I will die my way to you

[Tag]
Not to lose myself
to become someone true

[Outro]
