Lyrics

I felt my feelings fray and fade away
In a ring of gold
That I’m still wearing
It’s forged loose around my finger
I slip it off to pretend that I’m alone
 
I’ve warmed you and scorned you
I’m wretched and I’m kind
I have left you all alone
I’ve made you suffer my lover, my partner
And my closest friend
 
Love is acceptance and love is shame
Love is dependence and love is pain
Love is struggle
I will struggle with you
I choose you
 
I regret at times that I’m afraid
That I’ve ruined both of our lives
We’ll wander for forty more
‘Til death does both of us part
 
I’ve been crippled by shame
In the comfort of your embrace
I’ve felt contempt for our commitment
Content in my calloused heart
 
Love is frailty and eulogy
Love is devotion and adultery
Love is struggle
I will struggle with you
I choose you
 
There’s so many times that I have put us
In a triangle of love
In the arms of my first lover
You’ve caught me in an affair with myself
 
But I am slowly seeing
The beauty of a covenantal vow
Love is a natural feeling
Love is an unnatural choice
 
Love is riches and poverty
Love is withholding and charity
Love is struggle
I will struggle with you
 
Love is sorrow and love is joy
Love is a feeling and love’s a choice
Love is struggle
I will struggle with you
 
Love is struggle
I will struggle with you

I choose you
