You Loved Me Anyway

Verse

I still remember that first smoothie date

Just two hearts carrying yesterday’s weight

You smiled at me like nothing was broken

Like every scar didn’t need explaining

Life had been rough, I was worn thin

Building walls and hiding in them

But your gentle hands and your honest eyes

Made me believe there was more to life

Pre-chorus

You saw a man I couldn’t see

When all I saw was what’s wrong with me

Chorus

You loved me anyway

When I couldn’t love myself

When I was lost inside the pain

And fighting battles by myself

You loved me anyway

Through every doubt and every fear

And standing here today, Mahal

There’s one thing I want you to hear

I’ll always choose you

For the rest of my days

You loved me anyway

Verse

We’ve walked through family storms together

Past mistakes that we couldn’t weather

Old chapters tried to leave their mark

But your love kept lighting up the dark

You took my hand and back to Mass

Back to a faith I thought had passed

Somewhere between those quiet prayers

I found my way because you were there

Pre-chorus

You calm the noise inside my mind

You are the peace I prayed to find

Chorus

You loved me anyway

When I couldn’t love myself

When I was lost inside the pain

And fighting battles by myself

You loved me anyway

Through every doubt and every fear

And standing here today, Mahal

There’s one thing I want you to hear

I’ll always choose you

For the rest of my days

You loved me anyway

Bridge

When the years have come and gone

And we’re looking back on all we’ve known

I won’t need anything but you

To know this life was worth going through

And if you ever wonder why

After all this passing time

Remember what I’m saying now

And what I’ll never stop saying

Chorus

You loved me anyway

When I couldn’t love myself

You saw the man that I could be

Long before anybody else

You loved me anyway

And gave my restless heart a home

So take my hand and keep it close

You’ll never have to walk alone

I’ll always choose you

That’s my vow today

You loved me anyway

Outro

Mahal…

You loved me anyway

I’ll always choose you

And I love you
