pick the people

When you meet somebody And your heart makes them room To sit at your table And give them your food But then what they tell you Don't match what they do Cause you might've picked them But they didn't pick you Yes, you might've picked them But they didn't pick you So when it comes to friends Pick the ones that pick you And when it comes to lovers Pick the one that picks you Walk with the real ones That love you for you So when it comes to people Pick the ones that pick you Pick the ones that pick you Pick the people that pick you Don't settle for second That's not what you deserve Cause God says you're worthy Of being someone's first Cause what you feel matters You should be listened to So love who you got and Pick the people that pick you Just love who you got and Pick the people that pick you So when it comes to friends Pick the ones that pick you And when it comes to lovers Pick the one that picks you Walk with the real ones That love you for you So when it comes to people Pick the ones that pick you Pick the ones that pick you Oh, pick the people that pick you So guard your heart now Take care of yourself Voice all your boundaries So people love you well And I know you've been hurt Don't blame yourself Come out of hiding If you need some help Come find your people And I'll find mine as well So when it comes to friends Pick the ones that pick you And when it comes to lovers Pick the one that picks you Walk with the real ones That love you for you So when it comes to people Pick the ones that pick you Pick the ones that pick you Oh pick the people that pick you --- pick the people - Reed Deming
