Текст песни When The Choice Is Made - Kylolus

And when the choice is made
There can never be a change of heart
Hidden motives masquerade
In well-worn clichés like "we've grown apart"
For when the choice is made
With it comes the need to justify
How vows can be betrayed
Still I wonder why

When the choice is made
How quickly memories change or fade
A novel point of view
Rewrites the tale of me and you
The narrative is then refined
The characters are misaligned
And every chapter is the same
A former crime, apportioned blame
So all our years portrayed
When the choice is made

From my point of view
This does not ring true
There's something new
That's been affecting you

You're not the person you once were
I won't miss you, I do miss her
But now there's anger in your eyes
A vitriol that justifies
This choice that's made
Oh, what price is paid?

And when the choice is made
There's no point in trying to appeal
Reasoning cannot dissuade
Gestures cannot change the way you feel
For when the choice is made
With it comes indifference to the pain
And no course can be swayed
When grief meets with disdain

And when the choice is made
How quickly memories change or fade
And so this sad affair
Exports its damage everywhere
And what began as "we'll stay friends"
Becomes no chance to make amends
And tearing down all that we built
And choosing anger over guilt
For the game that's played
And the choice that's made

I analyze
But don't recognize
This poignant guise
Just feels like lies

I always tried hard to provide
Give all you asked for, take your side
I never cheated, never lied
Or raised a hand, or hurt your pride
Yet now you think the worst of me
Resolved to be the first to see
All my faults displayed
All my strengths outweighed
The choice is made
The price is paid

Woh oh
Woh oh

The choice is made
The price is paid
The darkness in a daughter's eyes
The silence in a son's good-byes
The price is paid
The choice is made

And when the choice is made
How quickly memories change or fade
