Choose

I am sitting in darkness and fear 
I choose this dark lonely hole
I refuse to live in your lies, I broke my own heart telling myself the same lies 
I can't pretend anymore 
I had to wake up some day ...it's today
I choose to live and not die , I choose to fight back these tears in my eyes 
I don't understand why you would step on my heart when I gave it to you freely 
the mistake I keep making is listening to your lies 
I choose to live and not die , it's death or dishonor if I choose you then I decide to die so I choose to live without the lie
