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
