Before You Choose Him

[Verse 1]

I saw you at the corner table

Laughing at his worn-out jokes

Three years I've held your hand through everything

Now he gets your Sunday morning

We built a home in quiet places

Soft routines and borrowed time

I know his smile is easy on the eyes

But easy never held you through the night

[Pre-Chorus]

So before you walk away

Before you close that door

Just ask yourself if he can promise

What I've given you before

[Chorus]

Before you choose him

Count the mornings I made you coffee

Before you choose him

Think of every scar I kissed away

Before you choose him

I'm not asking you to stay forever

Just asking you to stay one more day

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

[Verse 2]

Remember June when rain came pouring

You were shaking on my shoulder

Remember how I stayed up through the fever

Held your head when you were colder

He can't know your quiet language

The way you hum when you're afraid

I traced the map of every part of you

Gave my whole heart for the trade

[Pre-Chorus]

So before you walk away

Before you close that door

Just ask yourself if he can love you

Half the way I did before

[Chorus]

Before you choose him

Count the mornings I made you coffee

Before you choose him

Think of every scar I kissed away

Before you choose him

I'm not asking you to stay forever

Just asking you to stay one more day

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

[Bridge]

And if you go I'll learn to smile

I'll learn to breathe without your name

But heaven knows what I would give

To keep you standing in my frame

So take your time and feel it true

Don't let the shiny pull you blue

And if he's really what you need

I'll let you go and set you free

[Chorus]

Before you choose him

Count the mornings I made you coffee

Before you choose him

Think of every scar I kissed away

Before you choose him

I'm not asking you to stay forever

Just asking you to stay one more day

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

Ooh-ooh

Before you choose him

[Outro]

Just one more day

One more day

Mm-mm

Before you choose him
