Lyrics
[Intro]
Carolina
should’ve been my only view
(yeah)
Carolina
I should’ve never chosen you
[Verse 1]
Met you in a hallway
eyes like “run, don’t stay”
I mistook the warning
for a green light on my way
Carolina in my inbox
sweet pics, late talk
but I chased the thunder
now I’m ashes on your sidewalk
[Chorus]
I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you, over you (oh)
All this drama that you drag me through
cut me up, pulled me loose
Now I’m staring at the ceiling, thinking through
every lie that I mistook as truth
Yeah, I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you, over you
[Verse 2]
Carolina liked soft songs
you just like hard fights
She was planning weekend trips
you were planning late nights
You called it passion
I called it trying to breathe
You called it “that’s just us”
I called it “time to leave”
[Chorus]
I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you, over you (yeah)
All these pieces that you broke in two
I still bend back to you
But I’m scrolling through the photos, it’s so cruel
sunburnt smiles, ocean blue
Yeah, I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you, over you
[Bridge]
Would she hold my trembling hands
when I’m shaking in a crowd?
Would she listen when I’m quiet
not just when I’m too loud? (too loud)
If I call her, is it selfish
or a finally honest move?
‘Cause staying here feels faithless
to the better love I blew
[Chorus]
I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you, over you (oh)
Every promise that you ran right through
I still stitched like they were new
Now I’m writing out her name like a tattoo
in a song she’ll never hear from you
Yeah, I shoulda picked Carolina over you
over you
(over you, over you)
