I Had A Choice

You must dive to the depths of the ocean
I must float on top of the sea
I would never hold it against you
I know you always loved me

Sailing there, sailing here
Straight on out, banish fear
I might lose you to the blue
But that’s my truth and that’s your truth

You must dive to the depths of the ocean
I must float on top of the sea
I would never hold it against you
I know you always loved me

I had a choice
To stay inside or use my voice

Oh my love, your heart is black and blue
And I did that to you
We’re searching for some way to work it out
So we writhe about, twist and shout

You were the weight of everything
I was the change tomorrow brings
You prayed for everything to stay
But I came to wash it away
And I was ashamed (don’t be ashamed!)

I had a choice
To stay inside or use my voice

We are the weight of everything
We are the change tomorrow brings
We pray for all of it to stay
But we’re here to wash it away (don’t be afraid!)

I had a choice
To stay inside or use my voice
