[Verse 1]
You had that ring in your hand
And a line in your smile
Said "this could be forever"
But forever takes a while
Mama taught me watch the signs
When the deal looks too clean
I seen a lotta goodbyes
Hidden in between
[Pre-Chorus]
So I looked twice
At the way you moved
One foot in, one foot out
Tell me what you do
'Cause I don't fall
For pretty lies
Not this time
[Chorus]
Choose wisely, Baby, don't play me blind
If you want this heart of mine
One wrong turn
Can burn it down
Choose wisely, Right here, right now (choose wisely)
[Verse 2]
Your truck door slammed at dawn
With the coffee still hot
Two bags on the porch steps
And a look I forgot
You said love ain't a gamble
Then you rolled the dice
Now I'm standing in the gravel
Trying to save my life
[Pre-Chorus]
So I looked twice
At the way you moved
One foot in, one foot out
Tell me what you do
'Cause I don't fall
For pretty lies
Not this time
[Chorus]
Choose wisely, Baby, don't play me blind
If you want this heart of mine
One wrong turn
Can burn it down
Choose wisely, Right here, right now (choose wisely)
[Bridge]
I ain't mad, I'm just done
With the half-truth game
If you want the whole road
You better say my name
'Cause I can stay
Or I can go
I need the real thing
I need to know
[Chorus]
Choose wisely, Baby, don't play me blind
If you want this heart of mine
One wrong turn
Can burn it down
Choose wisely, Right here, right now (choose wisely)
