Chosen Sisters - ArlenaZara
Not all love comes with a ring
Not all vows are said in churches
Some love shows up in the middle of the night
And stays when the whole world hurts
I remember the first time we met
You were wearing combat boots
I was trying to be someone else
You saw right through
We didn't know that night would change us
Didn't know we'd build a home
In each other's living rooms and backseats
And never feel alone
You've seen me at my worst
You've held my hair back when I cried
You've told me the truth when no one else would
And never let me hide
You're my chosen sister
My blood from another mother
The one who knows my silence
And still chooses to stay
Through the fights and the forgiveness
Through the miles and the years
You're my chosen sister
And I wouldn't trade you for anything here
We celebrated wins and losses
We screamed in cars and cried on floors
You've helped me pack my bags for moving
And opened up your door
We've watched each other fall in love
And helped each other through the breaks
We've learned that some love stories
Are the ones that friendship makes
You know the parts I don't show anyone
The fears I keep inside
You've never made me feel too much
Or told me I should hide
You're my chosen sister
My blood from another mother
The one who knows my silence
And still chooses to stay
Through the fights and the forgiveness
Through the miles and the years
You're my chosen sister
And I wouldn't trade you for anything here
For anything here
They say family is who you're born with
But I believe we get to choose
And I'd choose you a thousand times
In any life, in any truth
You've taught me what it means to love
Without needing to be more
You've shown me that the deepest bonds
Are the ones we work for
There's a version of my life where I never found you
And I don't know who I'd be if I had to go it through
Without your voice on the other line
Without your laugh to pull me through
Without someone who knows me like I know you
You're my chosen sister
My heart's other half
The one who makes the hard days lighter
And the good ones last
Through everything we've been through
Through the person I've become
You're my chosen sister
And you're my forever someone
Not all love comes with a ring
Not all vows are said in churches
Some love shows up in the middle of the night
And stays when the whole world hurts
Chosen sister
Chosen sisters
I chose you
And you chose me
