Don’t make me choose

I didn’t answer right away I watched your face begin to fall Some questions don’t want honesty They want a lie to lean on The house was full of memories They pressed against my chest I’ve lived two lives inside this skin And failed them both, I guess Pre-Chorus I never meant to love this way I never meant to stay Chorus Please don’t make me choose I’m already losing you I lose no matter what I do No matter what I say I can’t make a clear decision With a heart already split in two Please don’t make me choose Between you and the love of my life Verse 2 He knows my quiet grief The nights I cried alone He built a life around my fear And called that love our home But you’re the sound I make When I finally breathe You love the woman I became Not the one I learned to be Pre-Chorus One feels like duty, one feels like truth Both feel like something I can’t undo Chorus Please don’t make me choose I’m already losing you I lose the future or the past Either way, I lose I can’t save everyone I love No matter how much I want to Please don’t make me choose Between you and the love of my life Bridge If love was fair, it wouldn’t hurt This much to stay alive If love was kind, it wouldn’t ask Me who deserves my life I pray for numbness, not relief Just something less than this Final Chorus Please don’t make me choose I’m begging you, I’m breaking through I’ll carry this for all my days No matter what I do Someone will wake up empty Someone will learn the truth And someone will have to live Knowing I chose… And someone else I lost
