[Verse 1]
You pull me close
Just to count my scars
Scroll through my phone
Like it’s proof of war
You kiss my neck
While you twist the knife
Say I’m your world
But you gamble my life
[Pre-Chorus]
You draw a heart
Then you draw a line
Tell me to stay
While you check his signs
[Chorus]
You can’t have both
My love and your chaos
You can’t keep me
On a chain and a pedestal
You want my hands
While you’re holding him close
Pick a poison, pick a person
You can’t have both
[Verse 2]
You call me up
When the party dies
Red in your eyes
But you swear it’s fine
You wear my hoodie
Like a trophy win
Then laugh too loud
When you say his name again
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the truth
But you dress it pretty
You say “it’s us”
But it feels like three
[Chorus]
You can’t have both
My love and your chaos
You can’t keep me
On a chain and a pedestal
You want my hands
While you’re holding him close
Pick a poison, pick a person
You can’t have both
[Bridge]
I’m done with the backseat, back‑up role (hey)
Done being half of your half‑truth show
You want a mirror, not a man to hold
Watch me walk out as your cover blows
[Chant Hook]
You can’t have both (both)
You can’t have me (me)
You chose the lie (lie)
So you lose the real thing
You can’t have both (both)
Can’t keep my soul (soul)
You want the thrill (thrill)
Then you walk home alone
[Final Chorus]
You can’t have both
My love and your chaos
You can’t keep me
On a chain and a pedestal
You want my hands
While you’re holding him close
Pick a poison, pick a person
You can’t have both
You can’t have both
My heart and your shadows
I’m cutting ties
As the lights all blow
You had your chance
Now I’m letting you go
Pick a poison, pick a person
You can’t have both
