We tried it once, remember that night? Two hearts misfired under soft streetlight You said it felt like falling fast But I was slipping through the cracks We made a mess of something clean You wore your hope, I wore routine Now here we are, stuck on repeat A friendship hanging by a beat You say you’ve changed, and maybe you have But some things break and don’t come back You want a sign, you want a spark But all I’ve got is honesty and heart Don’t choose me, if love’s what you need I’ve seen the end of where this leads Swipe through names, chase what you dream But all I’ve got is honesty and heart Don’t choose me, if love’s what you need I’ve seen the end of where this leads Swipe through names, chase what you dream But skip the one that ends in me You deserve a flame, not flickering I won't pretend, or fake a scene We're better off just letting go Before we both end up alone I see you trying not to bend Still hoping time can make amends But I won't be your second guess Or wear a role that never fits You say it’s just a little hope But hope can pull like undertow I’d rather lose a chance than you Than hold on tight and break us two I care too much to play that part To give you half, then watch you starve You want the truth, not make-believe So here it is just don’t pick me Don’t choose me, if love’s what you need I’ve seen the end of where this leads Swipe through names, chase what you dream But all I’ve got is honesty and heart Don’t choose me, if love’s what you need I’ve seen the end of where this leads Swipe through names, chase what you dream But skip the one that ends in me You deserve a flame, not flickering I won't pretend, or fake a scene We're better off just letting go Before we both end up alone Call it fear, call it clear-eyed care But I won’t build where we can’t repair You’ll thank me when the years have passed That we let go instead of crash Don’t choose me, if love’s what you need Even if it's me you think you see I won’t be cruel, I won’t mislead But I won’t lie to make you pleased You deserve a flame, not flickering A steady hand, a heart that sings I’ll be your friend, I’ll stand close by But not the one to blur the lines
