If You Had to Choose

Package came in the mail this morning
No note, no reason, no rhyme
And no warning, frame was broken
But the picture still looks great
You and me on backbone ridge
My heart felt nothing but my soul sure did sorrow
Of a broken love still lives
I don’t care what they say
Caught myself looking back
I let the reins on my mind run slack
Let a few good memories slip through
Long after love is gone, some ties that bide hang on
They’re broken but they’re still strong enough
Tangle me in you
Did you smash that frame back
When our love failed
Or did they break in the mail?
Hey, I know you couldn’t throw it away
It was just a happy moment in time
But it was your and it was mine
Killing love ought to be a crime
But you did it anyways
Sometime when I look back
I let the reins on my mind run slack
Let a few good memories slip through
Long after love is gone
Some ties that bide hang on
They’re broken but they’re still strong enough
Tangle me in you
Don’t want to go back in time
Back in time to drink that bitter wine
But it’s good to hear your voice
Sometime when I look back
I let the reins on my mind run slack
Let a few good memories slip through
Long after love is gone
The tide that bide hang on
Yeah, they’re broken but they’re strong enough to
Tangle me in you
Tangle me in you
