I Choose

Can you place your heart under the ground
and keep it buried there?
Or would it just burst forth like a skeleton
and try to come up for air?
Many have tried to deny the heart
and tried to deafen the beat.
But the heart is stronger than anything
and won't accept defeat.

If you love me or if you don't
in this you have no voice.
For my heart has chosen to love you
and so I have the choice.
And I choose to keep my love alive
and never let it die.
I don't have to answer to you
or even tell you why.
