You Made Your Choice

Verse 1 You came with empty hands, but pockets full of need, always asking for a rescue, never asking what we bleed. Mama opened up the door, even after all the pain, she kept lighting candles for you while you stood out in the rain. Pre-Chorus She fought for us, cried for us, gave her heart until it bruised. And all you saw was what you lacked, not what she had to lose. Chorus We’ve got nothing else to give, no more blood left in these stones. You took the love she offered you and made her feel alone. You chose the lies he fed you, over the woman who stayed true. You crossed the line, you cut the thread — you made your choice, now live with what you chose to do. Verse 2 You believed your father’s stories like they were scripture on your skin, but he was never there to hold us when the walls were caving in. Mama wore the weight in silence, hid the cracks behind her smile, and you still turned around and blamed her after she carried you for miles. Pre-Chorus She prayed for you, waited for you, kept a place inside her chest. But you came in like a storm cloud and destroyed what kindness left. Chorus We’ve got nothing else to give, no more blood left in these stones. You took the love she offered you and made her feel alone. You chose the lies he fed you, over the woman who stayed true. You crossed the line, you cut the thread — you made your choice, now live with what you chose to do. Bridge I won’t beg you to see her, I won’t prove what should be clear. Love is not a weapon, and family’s not a mirror you only look into when you need something back. We were not your safety net for every truth you lacked. And maybe one day it will hit you, when the anger falls away, that the mother you rejected was the one who chose to stay. Final Chorus We’ve got nothing else to give, no more tears left in the well. You built your side of the story and dragged our names through hell. You chose the lies he fed you, over the heart that fought for you. You crossed the line, you cut the thread — you made your choice, now we’re choosing silence too. Outro She fought for us. She cried for us. She gave you all she could. You made your choice. And now we’re done being misunderstood.
