Don't Make Me Choose

(album: The Low Light Sessions - 2022)

I love expensive wine but I shoot cheap whiskey
I love when I'm here, but I love when you miss me
I love that stage when the lights come on
But I love our bed when the lights go off

I live for the highway, those nowhere roads
But I'm thinking 'bout the driveway and your eyes when I get home
There's a reason I'm the dreamer and you're the believer
Baby, you're the stayer and I'm the leaver

We both got something the other one needs
Yeah baby, you're the dancer, I'm the two left feet
You're the "Thank you, Jesus," I'm "Please forgive me"

I'm a mess
But you help make me make sense
You're the right side when I'm on the fence
And I'm up against the whole damn world and you
Yeah, it's hard
To pick love and this guitar
'Cause they're both halves of my beating heart
Don't rip it apart
You're the one thing I don't wanna lose

Oh, but don't make me choose
Oh, don't make me choose

I hate that you get lonely, but you ain't the only one
When we're miles apart, we're still watching the same sun set
On the edge of the Earth, burning red
Yeah, it hurts but it's worth it, so worth it in the long run

We both got something the other one needs
I'ma judge it by the cover, you're the deep, deep read
I'm the prodigal son, you're Psalm 23

I'm a mess
But you help make me make sense
You're the right side when I'm on the fence
And I'm up against the whole damn world and you
Yeah, it's hard
To pick love and this guitar
'Cause they're both halves of my beating heart
Don't rip it apart
You're the one thing I don't wanna lose

Oh, but don't make me choose
Oh, girl, don't, don't make me choose

We both got something the other one needs
Baby, you're the dancer, I'm the two left feet
You're the "Thank you Jesus," you bring me to my knees

I'm a mess
But you help make me make sense
You're the right side when I'm on the fence
And I'm up against the whole damn world and you
Yeah, it's hard
To pick love and this guitar
'Cause they're both halves of my beating heart
Don't rip it apart
You're the one thing I don't wanna lose

Oh, but don't make me choose
(Don't make me choose)
Oh, don't make me choose
Don't make me choose
Don't make me choose
Don't make me choose
Oh, yeah
