Because I Chose You Lyrics

You're the one that I wanted

You're the end of the conflict

You're the best that I could have

You're the truth in a false world

When you're near, I'm not haunted

By the fear of a song that

Took its toll, and drove me mad

Because of some other girl

You are worth every change that

I could make to better serve

The growth of our love, and I

Don't resent it - not one bit

All of those nights that I sat

Parted from you, undeserved

Telling myself that old lie

That it was for you: bullshit

I was selfish to pursue fame

And for that I take the full blame

In my mad quest to validate

All my talents, I could not wait

My impatience drove me forward

All your concerns, they went unheard

But in the end, I walked away

So that we could see a new day

Looking back, it was foolish

How I thought I could sustain

All those dreams made of cobwebs

I'm sorry I caused you pain

I could not see the forest

For the trees, but now I do

That's why I cannot return

To those ways, or I'll be burned

Even if I succeeded

Would it have been worth the cost

No, for it's you I needed

Without you, I would be lost

We are given hard choices

But it was not hard to choose

You over tiny voices

For you, I could never lose

I was selfish to pursue fame

And for that I take the full blame

In my mad quest to validate

All my talents, I could not wait

My impatience drove me forward

All your concerns, they went unheard

But in the end, I walked away

So that we could see a new day

When you took me back, pulled me from the black

I was grateful, and I am still

You are all I need, so I then took heed

Did what I must: now look at us

Because you forgave, I am not a slave

To my darkness, I have sharpness

You are always right, you showed me the light

I love you more than once before

I was selfish to pursue fame

And for that I take the full blame

In my mad quest to validate

All my talents, I could not wait

My impatience drove me forward

All your concerns, they went unheard

But in the end, I walked away

So that we could see a new day

So don't blame yourself, because I chose you

So don't blame yourself, because I chose you
