At the Time (Acoustic)

This big ole couch

I bought to fit both you and I

You said that you would like the extra space

And that made up my mind

The place I picked

Of all the places that I could live

I picked a place a skipping stone away so

you would have a short drive

Cuz at the time in all the choices I had I always chose you

And then when I finally remembered myself

Although I begged you didn't want to

You were my compass you were my sun

While I was just a play for you to run

Why do I never see it at the time

How is Kim how is Gran

How are mom and dad how is Nic

See I care about every part of you just

like how you never did

You wouldn't share you didn't show

You wouldn't come to me

Said I was your wife

yet didn't want to see me more than once a week

And at the time in all the choices you had

You never chose me

And then when I finally could look at myself

Although I begged you didn't want to see

You were my compass you were my sun

while I was just a trophy to be won

Why do I never see it at the time

Survived on promises woke up hungry in the night

Looked to you in terror tears in my eyes

Waking you again sorry for the trouble baby do you mind

Holding me helping me feel alright

It shouldn't be like this

It shouldn't be this hard

I shouldn't be crying alone in the dark

Why do I never see it that

In our time in all the choices I had I always chose you

And then when I knew that you were treating me bad

I forgave and I still chose you

You were my world you gave life meaning

I was never more than just a play thing

Why do I never see it at the time
