Choice

"I love you" is what you say to me
"But I love you more" is my reply
Sure, I love you on the outside
But on the inside I want to die

You really cannot understand
Because we've never said
The things that happened in the past
That caused so many tears to shed

A hundred thousand lakes I've cried
For the one who isn't you
Baby, I'm so very sorry
I didn't think I'd have to choose

You whisper those three words to me
My heart races at your voice
Because I know the outcome that will
Follow this awful choice

I love you, sweetie, but I don't know
If I love you more than him
He holds a place in my heart
That stays out on it's limb

I thought that when you asked me out
I could finally let him go
I wanted to, but it didn't work
I just put myself below

He came back, I didn't think he would
He says he'll wait for me
But I don't know for how long
And I partly don't want to wait and see

Okay, now I'm done thinking
And it hurts me to do
But i have to let him go...
And I'll stay with you
