I Had a Choice

featuring Mark T and Sonny Williams

[Mark T & Sonny]

Holdin' hands strollin' through the park (Oooohhh)

Sweet memories (Yeahhh)

Are torn apart (Ooohh)

I made a promise I could not keep (I could not keep)

I played around oh girl I made you weep

[Chorus Mark T & Sonny]

I had a choice and I chose wrong

I made a promise girl to leave it alone

You gave me trust I threw it away

Baby please

Sonny, Son, Son

Yeah

How roses, love notes, and apologies does it take?

How many more lonely nights do I stay awake?

Reminiscin' of the times you would do whatever

Sneak out your window so that we can be together

And when your daddy said he would kill your boyfriend

Not even he could seperate us back then

I wish these thoughts would've been going through my mind

When I broke this promise and I made you cry

Forgive me, I wish it was a dream, that I might awake

To your lovin' arms around me

I guess I gave in to man's deepest weakness

I'm at your mercy begging for forgiveness

I had a choice and I chose wrong

Now I'm trying to make it better writing you this song

I love you more than anything up in this world

Never wanna lose you, forgive me, girl, uh

[Chorus]

I sat back, took my time, wrote these rhymes

Words I never express, the type of things that I'm sayin'

Right out the top of the head, I ain't lyin'

Even cried when I wrote it, and every time I read it

Tear it up and throw it

Think of back to the days when you didn't know what life was

Cuz at the same time I gave it to ya, I took it from ya

And now I understand why you can't look me in my eyes there again

Sittin' underneath the candle light tryin' to 'rize the same lines

Feel it even more when the paper tore from writin' so hard

All hands down with my heart on the floor

Cuz I knew I fucked up, comin' out a broken man

Please, Lord, control my hand and have your angels bless these words

>From a man coming from a broken world

And every time I stopped, your face I saw, your voice I heard

Visions of your tears hauntin' my dreams

Forgive me

[Chorus]

[Mark T & Sonny]

Cuz girl, you know that I wanna love you forever more

Forever and ever, never, n-n-never leave me, baby

I wanna have you right by my side

Cuz you are my lady

Please don't leave me, baby, baby

[Chorus to end]

I got to have you by my side

I made a promise, girl

I wanna do you right

Oh yeahhhh

Lady, lady
