If You Could Choose

If you could choose, would you lay down your armor

And make believe like we'd met for the very first time

Consciously try to try no reservations this time

About something we both know can thrive

We will give it one more try

Swearing you're decent, swear you're not hiding

Filling up schedules hoping your heart fills too

I'm scared you'll forget me soon.

And what if I forgot you too?

We could just fall right on through.

Or we, could give it one more try

We wanna protect but we're only just human

Trying to learn how to love and be loved in return

Do you fabricate how you feel?

Or ardently hold to ideals?

Or pretend it until its real?

And we'd give it one more try

Oh I wanna see it in your eyes

That this means something to you

That it means what you say

I wanna see it in your eyes

That it means something to you

And I was worth the time you spent

Oh I just wanna know what you've been so afraid to show

Nothing else about this has to change

But we'll have to compromise for what's here and now

And stop how we deny

What's been going on?

Keep busy, keep frantic and keep your heart at bay

But there's no emotion that your body won't learn to betray

If there's something you need to say

Tell me and don't look away

Ask me, I'd be glad to stay

We could give it one more try

If you could choose, would you lay down your armor

And make believe like we've met for the very first time
