[Verse 1]
Fourteen years, we been through the fire
Two kids, one dream, one busted tire
Grew up hard, learned not to fold
You wore that hurt like a jacket in the cold
Nobody saw what I saw in you
Not the late-night tears, or the hell you knew
You shut the door when it got too close
Act like you’re fine when you need me most
I held your weight when you couldn’t stand
Pulled you back up with a shaking hand
I gave you peace, I gave you time
I gave you my heart and the hardest parts of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you go cold when I reach for you
Push me away like that’s what you do
I can’t keep begging at your feet
If you want me, baby, meet me halfway
[Chorus]
Choose me now
Choose me now
Don’t make me the one you lose (choose me now)
Choose me now
Choose me now
Before this home turns into news (choose me now)
[Verse 2]
Your type of love leaves a lot unsaid
Keeps me sleeping right next to dread
Dismissive eyes, avoidant moves
Like every fight is a door you choose
But I ain’t here to chase a ghost
I need a real one, I need a close
I’ve carried us on my back too long
I need your hands when the nights go wrong
You’re gonna lose your family fast
If you keep living like love won’t last
I’m not bluffing, I’m not your threat
I’m the reason you still got what you get
[Pre-Chorus]
So look at me when I say it clear
I’m still here, but I won’t stay here
If you want this, then prove it true
I can’t keep dying for a maybe you
[Chorus]
Choose me now
Choose me now
Don’t make me the one you lose (choose me now)
Choose me now
Choose me now
Before this home turns into news (choose me now)
[Bridge]
I loved you more than I loved myself
That kind of love can starve your health
I’m done being strong all on my own
If you want my heart, then come back home
No more “soon,” no more “wait”
No more love behind a locked-up gate
You got one chance, one final plea
Look in my face and choose me
[Final Chorus]
Choose me now
Choose me now
Don’t make me the one you lose (choose me now)
Choose me now
Choose me now
I’m leaving if you don’t change (choose me now)
Choose me now
Choose me now
Baby, choose me over pain (choose me now)
