REGRETS (You Were the Choice)

They said you were the answer to my pain A safer love, no storms, no rain I walked away from someone who felt like home Thinking with you, I wouldn’t feel alone Pre-Chorus I chose what made the most sense in my head Not the voice of my heart, the words it said Now every night, the truth breaks through I’m lying beside you, missing someone new Chorus Now I regret choosing you Not because you were wrong or untrue But my heart was never something I could move You were the choice, but love was never you I’m here with you, but I’m torn in two I regret choosing you Verse 2 I tried to love you the way you deserved But feelings don’t follow the roads we’ve learned Every smile felt borrowed, every touch felt fake You felt my presence, but my heart escaped Pre-Chorus I stayed because leaving felt like a crime But staying hurt you a little more each time You gave me love, I gave you lies While their name lived behind my eyes Chorus Now I regret choosing you Not because you were wrong or untrue But my heart was never something I could move You were the choice, but love was never you I’m here with you, but I’m torn in two I regret choosing you Rap Verse I chose comfort over fire, peace over desire Thought I could kill the truth, bury the wire I told myself love could learn, love could grow But you can’t force a heart to let someone go You were loyal, you were real, you were trying your best While I was fighting memories stuck in my chest I wear this guilt like a permanent bruise I didn’t lose you… I lost myself too Bridge If time could rewind, I’d do it right Follow the feeling, not the fear that night Now all I have are apologies And a choice that cost me everything Final Chorus I regret choosing you Not because you didn’t love me too But some mistakes don’t show the truth Until you’re living what you chose to lose I’m here with you, but my heart’s still bruised I regret choosing you Outro Sometimes the wrong choice Becomes a lifetime of regret.
