My Constant North

(Verse 1)
I know the words hang heavy, unspoken in the air
A silent confession, a truth I must share
Not a new love's spark, no sudden, wild embrace
Just a steady comfort, a familiar, trusted space

(Chorus)
And if the choice were laid bare, a line drawn in the sand
I'd choose my constant North, my anchor in the storm
I'd choose my best friend over you, to keep my spirit warm
Their laughter's a melody, their silence understands
A bond forged in fire, built on solid, shifting sands

(Verse 2)
You offer grand gestures, a passionate, fiery plea
But they feel like shadows, compared to what sets me free
They've seen my broken pieces, and helped me put them right
Through every single darkness, they've been my steady light
No hidden agendas, no games we have to play

(Chorus)
And if the choice were laid bare, a line drawn in the sand
I'd choose my constant North, my anchor in the storm
I'd choose my best friend over you, to keep my spirit warm
Their laughter's a melody, their silence understands
A bond forged in fire, built on solid, shifting

(Bridge)
It's not a lack of feeling, not a heart that's turned to stone
But some connections run deeper, down to the very bone
They know my secret fears, the dreams I hold so dear
They're the ones who wipe the silent, falling tear
And in that quiet knowing, a certainty I find
A different kind of love, the truest of its kind

(Chorus)
So if the choice were laid bare, a line drawn in the sand
I'd choose my constant North, my anchor in the storm
I'd choose my best friend over you, to keep my spirit warm
Their laughter's a melody, their silence understands
A bond forged in fire, built on solid, shifting

(Outro)
Forgive this honest truth, it's hard to make it clear
But some bonds are unbreakable, year after year
My heart has found its home, where true acceptance lies
And that's with my best friend, beneath these watchful skies
