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

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

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

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

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

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

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
