In Lissie’s own words: “It’s about, you know, making a decision that you won’t be able to take back, and being okay with it but also knowing it’s kind of going to haunt you for the rest of your life, you know, ‘what never was’ kind-of-thing.

[Verse 1]
It's an abstract place, where I hold you
And the relief I felt gets confused
And I have cried a couple of times
When I'm wondering about you
And the morning that I found out
What had happened, I, I cried
[Chorus]
When all it took was a choice
And things could be different now
And I'll never feel your face resting on my chest
That vulnerable embrace resting on my chest
A shame we had to say goodbye before we'd met
I am forever less
[Verse 2]
It's a cold walk to waking life
When splits cause pressure, steals the time
Oh and I have been rushed
A panic sucked blush
And I'm wondering about you
[Chorus]
When all it took was a choice
And things could be different now
And I'll never feel your face resting on my chest
That vulnerable embrace resting on my chest
A shame we had to say goodbye before we'd met
I am forever less
[Bridge]
All it took was a choice
Things could be different now
All it took was a choice
And the right to choose
You do what you have to do
But I, I never feel your face resting on my chest
That vulnerable embrace resting on my chest
A shame we had to say goodbye before we'd ever met
I am forever less
