You Choose Lyrics

He's gone
You've lost
Stay behind
and count the cost
You try
You lose
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose

It's a decision made over time Should you take a risk and start to climb the steepest hill only to find halfway there you've been left behind?
Choosing to love is risking a lot and trying to change and to give all you've got But don't pretend it comes out of the blue You take a chance and see it through
and if it's refused what can you do? Continue hopefully? Start anew?

Lick your wounds
Buy your booze
You won't get drunk by accident
You'll choose
Don't blame him
for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love
You did

Learn the lesson
Take the blows
You didn't fall in love by chance
You chose
Play the sad songs
Sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose
