choices... cruel and tender
always... return to sender

you try to free yourself from love
the pain you get won't go away
you hang your heart on some new hope
and deal with their shit every day

you think you're making choices
but it all turns out the same...
why not do it differently
and prove you're not insane?

so then you quit your dead end job
you say it's time to get your share
you buy some books and study hard
and make your boss a millionaire

choices... cruel and tender
always... return to sender

thumb your nose at the trendy crowd
no one tells you what to do
but you get tired of being alone
and tap your toes to top ten tunes

you think you're making choices
but it all turns out the same...
why not do it differently
and prove you're not insane?

you wrote a song about your girl
it always used to make her smile
but now that she has gone away
shouldn't you let it rest a while?

make a choice!
