Why Don't We Choose Love

It's not supposed to be like this
Why do we have our weapons drawn?
I can't make myself forget
The way you woke my heart up
Can't shut it down again
To win this fight

Can't we both surrender?
Haven't we lost enough?
We keep choosing our battles
Why don't we choose love
Can't we change the pattern?
This hurts too much
We keep choosing our battles
Why don't we choose love?

They say we have to pick our sides
'Cause that's the way it's always been
Is that how our story goes?
I swear we're something different
What if we're getting close
To something real

Can't we both surrender?
Haven't we lost enough?
We keep choosing our battles
Why don't we choose love
Can't we change the pattern?
This hurts too much
We keep choosing our battles
Why don't we choose love?

It's not supposed to be like this
Why do we have our weapons drawn?
