Joe Edward Smith - Choose Lyrics

If I'd known then what I know now, would we both be here?
The choices I made back then seem crazy now the truth is clear

But as you turn and look away I see what I was missing
And I glimpse all that could have been if only I had listened

You look at your feet and in the silence
One last tear falls to the ground
Maybe I could have saved this wreck
Looks like instead I burnt it down
I'm left to face the truth

I was watching in black and white as everything else turned to colour
Those voices shouting secrets I didn't want to discover

Reality's an untamed beast
Who doesn't care at all for those she scars
But suddenly reveals herself
And all the consequence is ours
I'm left to face the truth
I can't escape the truth anymore

I can see that it's agony for you to bear
But if you didn't want me you wouldn't be here
You've not given up on me yet
You talk like a king but you walk like a slave in those shoes
Even now still you give me the chance to refuse
Will we go on or is this the end?

I know things will have to change
I've spent too long just flirting with the truth
But after everything I've seen
I know at last I just want you
