Pick A Side

[Intro — tired, late-night tone]
Mm…
You can’t keep standing in the middle forever.
At some point… you gotta choose.

[Chorus — emotional hook]
You gotta pick a side
Love me or let me go
You keep me in the dark
But still don’t let me go
Say you don’t wanna lose me
But you don’t hold me close
You gotta pick a side
’Cause I can’t do both

Love me right
Or leave me alone
I’m tired of living
Halfway in your phone

[Verse 1]
You call me late when she ain’t around
Like I’m the calm when your world breaks down
Say I’m the one who understands you best
But still you keep me second guessin’

You say you scared to lose what we got
But scared ain’t love and you know it’s not
I’m tired of waiting in between
Your maybe and your what-ifs

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you care
But not enough
To choose me
When it gets tough

[Chorus]
You gotta pick a side
Love me or let me go
You keep me in the dark
But still don’t let me go
Say you don’t wanna lose me
But you don’t hold me close
You gotta pick a side
’Cause I can’t do both

[Verse 2]
You say I’m different from the rest
Say I’m the one who knows you best
But every time it gets too real
You disappear and leave me stressed

You want the comfort of my love
Without the weight of calling it yours
But I’m not built for temporary
And I deserve more

[Pre-Chorus — stronger]
You keep me close
But not enough
You say you care
But never choose us

[Chorus]
You gotta pick a side
Love me or let me go
You keep me in the dark
But still don’t let me go
Say you don’t wanna lose me
But you don’t hold me close
You gotta pick a side
’Cause I can’t do both

[Bridge — vulnerable moment]
Maybe I stayed too long
Hoping you’d change your mind
Maybe I loved the idea of you
More than the signs

Maybe I kept believing
Something would grow
But love shouldn’t feel like
A place I can’t go

[Final Chorus — powerful]
You gotta pick a side
Love me or let me breathe
Stop saying you want me
If you won’t choose me

I’m done standing here
Waiting for your move
You gotta pick a side
Or I’ll choose to lose you
