I Don't Choose People

I don't pick the stars in the sky no more

They fall too fast they hit the floor

No control no compass no map

Just a heart on fire and a mind in a trap

They say love's a game but I hate the rules

Why play a hand when the deck is cruel

I don't choose people they just come and go

Like shadows racing through a broken glow

I don't choose people I don't even try

They burn my bridges then they say goodbye

Painted promises on a shattered mirror

Every crack whispers you were never here

I hold my breath as the night gets loud

A ghost in the dark lost in the crowd

They say life's a stage but I hate the play

Why wear a mask when it fades away

I don't choose people they just come and go

Like whispers fading in a stormy flow

I don't choose people I don't even care

They take the pieces leave me standing there
