[Verse 1]
The invention of the ship was the invention of the shipwreck
I tried to find out who I was by jumping off the deck
I intentionally clipped the intervention like a trip wire
Picked a color, tried to bribe the bygone back into his bed

[Chorus 1]
And I don't, I won't
I don't choose you
You

[Verse 2]
Underneath the Christian court there was this saying in the bricks
That you don't determine greatness by a man's intelligence
No, you won't determine greatness 'til you really start to dig
And you find out all those empty things that he lets discourage him

[Chorus 1]
And I don't, I won't
I don't choose
And I don't, I won't
I don't choose you
You

[Bridge]
I tried to walk away (You)
You broke the cast and tried to say (You)
I am not the man you knew (You)
I am not the man you choose (You)
So you're back to back a wasted age (You)
I tried to plead, you tried to pray (You)
I am not the man you knew (You)
I am not the man you choose (You)
[Chorus 1]
And I don't, I won't
I don't choose
And I don't, I won't
I don't choose you
You
You
You
