Lyrics
Verse 1:
You chose to leave
You said goodbye
To live life easy
You chose to lie
You chose to hurt me
Cut me down to size
You chose to be free
You chose that life
Chorus:
It's a choice you make
Your own mistake
It's a chance you take
No one to blame
Say it's a break
Won't be the same
We'll fall away
We'll go astray
Mistakes are made
Aint that a shame
Verse 2:
You stay away
See how things can change
Things stay the same
Just rearranged
You don't see
The other side
You only think you know what's right
Chorus
Verse 3:
So you scream
When there's no reason to believe
And you cry
When you can't see the light
So I'll be here right by your side
When you decide
Chorus
Verse 4:
So we stay
Cause we're afraid to be alone
And we pray
That we'll find our way back home
And we fight to survive
Because we don't want to die
Chorus
