I was friends with this girl back when I was in high school She was so down to earth, easy going, and so damn beautiful But she dated this guy who I thought was a loser He just tried to use her And I was always just another shoulder to cry on When everything went wrong When he'd leave her over nothing She'd ask me what should she do I'd say he's not good enough for you But she didn't want the truth So I told her what she wanted to hear That her boyfriend wasn't gonna disappear So I told her that he'd change his mind It was just another fight and it's gonna take time So I told her everything was okay Sure enough he was back by the end of the day Shoulda told her what was really in my head I wish you'd choose Me Instead I wish you'd choose Me Instead I tried telling myself we were better as just friends She tried telling herself she was happy despite all evidence So this cycle continued and she kept on crying While he kept on lying I felt like I was stuck right in the middle for so long I had to bite my tongue Then one day I finally asked her Why can't she find someone new She said no one else could love her too But she didn't see the truth So I told her what she wanted to hear That her boyfriend wasn't gonna disappear So I told her that he'd change his mind It was just another fight and it's gonna take time So I told her everything was okay Sure enough he was back by the very next day Shoulda told her what was really in my head I wish you'd choose Me Instead I wish you'd choose Me Instead After we graduated we both went our own ways Heard she married that same guy and started a new life But a couple years later I picked up a phone call She was crying and she asked if I could talk She told me that he was leaving her He had met somebody new She said she had only one regret A long pause and then she took a breath And then whispering she softly said I wish you'd chose Me Instead I wish you'd chose Me Instead I wish you'd chose Me Instead I wish you'd chose Me Instead I wish you'd chose Me Instead
