Verse 1

You know the quiet after every storm,

The words I swallowed, every guard I wore.

You saw me falter, saw me start again,

And stayed beside me through the thick and thin.

Pre-Chorus

You have seen me broken, loved me through it all.

Nothing left to prove, no mask left to defend,

You are still my shelter, still my closest friend.

When the years have tested every vow we made,

I choose you in the light, I choose you in the shade.

Verse 2
