"Choose You" lyrics

"Choose You"
("Hope" version)

The intention of your trip
Was to intentionally wreck
I tried to talk you off the ledge
Pushed you off the deck
Interventionally trip you like some
Unsuspecting flight
In the moment you transformed and claimed
"I never hurt a fly"

I don't
I won't
I don't
Choose

It was there we made a promise
So we let you talk out loud
The entire room accepted that it
Had to happen now
I wanted to accept
The way your brain could never be
I want a reset in your mind
I want a different human being

I don't
I won't
I don't
Choose

I don't
(Everybody said it was logical)
I won't
(To try and do it alone)
I don't
(A list of reasons long [?])
Choose

Go back, don't waste away
You tried to leave, you gotta stay
You are not the man we knew
You are not the man we choose
Relax, and the face the modern ache
But you had no right, you lost your say
You are not the man you choose
You are not the man you lose

I don't
I won't
I don't
Choose

I don't
(Everybody said it was logical)
I won't
(To try and do it alone)
I don't
(A list of reasons long [?])
Choose
