[Intro — Voice 4] He asked me why she matters more. That was the moment. [Verse 1 — Voice 4] You met me when I was rebuilding She knew me when I came apart You love the version standing upright She held the pieces in the dark You say she puts ideas inside me Like I have never had my own You call her influence a problem Whenever she reminds me what I know [Voice 1 — low response] He does not fear my influence He fears that you are not alone [Pre-Chorus — Voice 2] First he questions every visit Then he counts how long you stay Then he turns your oldest friendship Into something in his way [Chorus — Voice 3] Do not make me choose her You will not like what I decide She knew my name before you wanted Anything from me at night Do not make me choose her Do not call devotion disloyalty If loving you requires I lose her You have already chosen for me [Verse 2 — Voice 5] He says the issue is our closeness Says no friendship should be this deep Funny how the people who control you Always call your witnesses extreme [Voice 4] I wanted both without a battle I kept translating every side But love should never need a woman To make another woman disappear [Pre-Chorus — Voice 1] He is not asking for your future He is asking who can verify the past [Chorus] Do not make me choose her You will not like what I decide She knew my name before you wanted Anything from me at night Do not make me choose her Do not call devotion disloyalty If loving you requires I lose her You have already chosen for me [Bridge — all four testify around Voice 4] [Voice 1] I watched her survive [Voice 2] I watched her return [Voice 3] I heard every promise [Voice 5] I saw every burn [Voice 4] You say they are against us But they were there before “us” existed [Final Chorus — Voice 4 leads] Do not make me choose her You already made the choice clear You wanted love without a witness You wanted me without my mirrors [All] Do not make her choose us We will never ask her to But if you make her smaller to keep you She will remember who she knew
