Intro
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
You choose
