Ryan Troy Productions - Why Did I Choose You Lyrics

I gave up my dreams for a life by your side,
Put my books on the shelf, left my future behind.
I could've been someone, I had it all planned,
But I traded it in for a ring on my hand.
You said you'd protect me, promised me the world,
But your love was a weapon, your lies unfurled.
Late nights waiting, hoping you'd stay true,
But all along, you were breaking me in two.
Why did I choose you over my dreams?
Over my family, over everything?
You promised to change, but you never do,
Now I'm standing here, asking, "Why did I choose you?"
I caught you tonight with my own bloodline,
My cousin in your arms, crossing every line.
This wasn't the first, but it's the last straw,
Now I see the monster I tried to ignore.
I gave you my soul, and you tore it apart,
Turned my love to ashes, broke my heart.
I was blind, but now I see the truth,
You were never worth the things I'd lose.
Why did I choose you over my dreams?
Over my family, over everything?
You promised to change, but you never do,
Now I'm standing here, asking, "Why did I choose you?"
I could've been a lawyer, I could've gone far,
But I let your love dim my guiding star.
No more excuses, I'm walking away,
This time, your promises won't make me stay.
Why did I choose you? I'll never know,
But now it's time for me to let you go.
I'm taking back my life, reclaiming my name,
You'll just be a memory drowned in shame.
