Choose

OK, here we go again
You say it like I don’t understand
Throw it all out like a loaded reminder
Of every way I should be better

Every decision turns to division
Words come sharp with no permission
And just when it feels like we’re through
We both keep pushing it further too

How did we grow this far apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere between love and pride
We stopped standing on the same side
Now every word just fuels the fire
And we both keep taking it higher


[Chorus]
We both said things we can’t take back
Crossed those lines, faded to black
We tried to love but lost control
Now we’re just hurting each others souls

You pull away, I push too hard
We both played our broken parts
If love’s a war we always lose
Then maybe it’s time we choose


[Verse 2]
We keep digging up the past
Like it’s something built to last
But every scar we reopen wide
Just kills what we’re trying to revive

We don’t listen, we just defend
Turn every hurt into a trend
Round and round, the same old pain
Different words, same old game


[Chorus]
We both said things we can’t take back
Crossed those lines, faded to black
We tried to love but lost control
Now we’re just hurting each others souls

You pull away, I push too hard
We both played our broken parts
If love’s a war we always lose
Then maybe it’s time we choose


[Bridge]
Maybe love ain’t always enough
When it’s buried under all this stuff
And maybe letting go don’t mean
That it didn’t mean everything

We held on longer than we should
Through all the bad, chasing the good
But what we had is slipping through
And I don’t know how to fix me and you


[Final Chorus]
We made vows we swore we’d never break
Built a life we thought was here to stay
We both tried, we both got lost
Counting pain instead of cost

But if staying means we break
Every piece we couldn’t save
Then loving you might mean the truth
Is letting go of me and you
