Pick a side Lyrics by Esper

2021

["Pick a Side" Lyrics]

[Chorus]
You can't be the reason that I shed my tears, then wipe them
Pick a side
You can't stab my back, then comfort me, and take out the knife
Had to deal with lots of people tryna' sabotage my life
Start to learn from their mistakes and take a different road and I
Been there, done that
I won't go back
I'll stay on track
Don't you worry
Keep them in check
No, no, get back
Don't give me tears then wipe them
Pick a side (pick a side)

[Verse 1]
They enter with bad intentions
Realize you're good and catch feelings
Don't give energy they're gettin'
Then blame you for why they're stressin'
And your name always gets mentioned
Hurting them back gets temptin'
I always know the truth, no need for your late confessions

[Pre Chorus]
Ask yourself, do they really care?
'Cause most of them just stay around less than a year
Brushed his ass off, I'm glad he's out of my hair
Don't tell me that you love me when you were never there

He said he wants the best for me, the best for me is him though
If he builds a wall to close me off, I'll make a window
Moving on seems like a good idea when you can't stand reality or know wrong from right (wrong from right)

[Chorus]
You can't be the reason that I shed my tears, then wipe them
Pick a side (pick a side)
You can't stab my back, then comfort me, and take out the knife
(and take out the knife)
Had to deal with lots of people tryna' sabotage my life
(sabotage my life)
Start to learn from their mistakes and take a different road and I
Been there, done that
I won't go back
I'll stay on track
Don't you worry
Keep them in check
No, no, get back
Don't give me tears then wipe them
Pick a side (pick a side)

[Verse 2]
Kept it real from the beginnin'
Not faking the life I'm livin'
Been making songs for a minute
Not hard to see I'm cut different
And I heard he thinks it's 'bout him
But I'm not into that gossip
The fuck you gone do about it?
I'll say what I want, I'll shout it

[Pre Chorus]
Asked myself if he really cared
'Cause all he did was stay around less than a year
Brushed his ass off, I'm glad he's out of my hair
Don't tell me that you love me when you were never there

He said he wants the best for me, the best for me is him though
If he builds a wall to close me off, I'll make a window
Moving on seems like a good idea when you can't stand reality or know wrong from right (wrong from right)

[Chorus]
You can't be the reason that I shed my tears, then wipe them
Pick a side (pick a side)
You can't stab my back, then comfort me, and take out the knife
(and take out the knife)
Had to deal with lots of people tryna' sabotage my life
(sabotage my life)
Start to learn from their mistakes and take a different road and I
Been there, done that
I won't go back
I'll stay on track
Don't you worry
Keep them in check
No, no, get back
Don't give me tears then wipe them
Pick a side (pick a side)
