Choose Her

Verse

I saw the way you looked at me inside that crowded room

A fleeting spark, a quiet smile, I thought was bound to bloom

I built a castle in the air, traced lines upon your hand

But now I’m standing in the dust of promises in the sand

You whispered things that felt so real, or did I hear them wrong?

I was a chapter in your book, you were writing her song

Chorus

I thought you liked me, but I guess it wasn't true

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow, you leave me small

She is the kingdom and I am nothing at all

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see

How much it hurts to ask what’s wrong with me?

To make you choose her.

Verse

I watch her laugh at all your jokes, she doesn't try, it's effortless

She wears the confidence I lack, a picture-perfect summer dress

And I'm just sitting on the sidelines, tearing pieces of my heart away

Trying to find the exact moment that your feelings started to stray

Did I say too much? Did I act too small?

Or was I just a shadow on your bedroom wall?

Chorus

I thought you liked me, but I guess it wasn't true

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow, you leave me small

She is the kingdom and I am nothing at all

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see

How much it hurts to ask what’s wrong with me?

To make you choose her.

Bridge

Was I too easy to leave behind?

A temporary fix just to pass the time?

I change my hair, I change my clothes, to find where the magic went

But you look at her like she’s the only thing the heavens ever sent

And it breaks me down, yeah, it breaks me small

To know I gave my everything, and you didn't care at all

Chorus

I thought you liked me, but I guess it wasn't true

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow, you leave me small

She is the kingdom and I am nothing at all

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see

How much it hurts to ask what’s wrong with me?

To make you choose her.

Outro

Go choose her.

Go on and kiss her.

Leave me here with the silence.

What was so wrong with me?

I guess I’ll never know.
