two men standing in front of me and I don't know what to do

alternative metal, dream pop, alternative R&B

V6-MINI

[Verse 1]

You came at ten to bring my sweater back
The sleeves were folded in a paper bag
He had our dinner balanced in his hands
And said, "Oh, sorry, didn't know you had plans"

I said your name a little bit too fast
Like I could skip the part about our past
You said, "I shouldn't stay," and turned to go
He asked me, "Should I know?" I whispered, "No"

[Chorus]

One of you should leave
One of you should stay
I keep calling it a choice
Like no one's gonna pay

I can lie to one of you
But I'd be lying to me too
Two men standing in front of me
And I don't know what to do

[Verse 2]

He put the dinner on the kitchen chair
You rubbed your thumb across the sweater's tear
He asked, "You two still talk?" I said, "Not much"
And hated how I said it in a rush

You said, "It's cool," and stared down at your shoes
He gave a laugh like he had nothing to lose
Nobody yelled, nobody made a scene
That almost made it harder to come clean

[Chorus]

One of you should leave
One of you should stay
I keep calling it a choice
Like no one's gonna pay

I can lie to one of you
But I'd be lying to me too
Two men standing in front of me
And I don't know what to do

[Bridge]

I checked his phone at half past three
For things he never hid from me
Then kept your messages for days
And called it nothing anyway

I wanted him to tell the truth
While saving every text from you
He never made me pick a side
I did that when I chose to hide

And I could tell you I was scared
That I was young, that life's unfair
But every time I say those things
It sounds like someone else's blame

[Breakdown]

You knew me then
He knows me now
You both deserve
More than I allow

I asked for trust
I asked for proof
Then broke the rules
I made for you

And I can't make
The timing right
By keeping both
Of you here tonight

[Final Chorus]

One of you could leave
Neither has to stay
I don't have a good excuse
Or a better thing to say

I've been hiding from the truth
While demanding it from you
Two men standing in front of me
And I know what I have to do
