Sticks and stones break my bones
And words can break my heart
These feelings now reveal themselves
And rip my soul apart
Torn emotions
That I can't help but feel
I can't even decipher
What's true, what's real
Hiding inside myself
Fighting feelings that I keep
This mountain I climb, so small before
Has become far too steep
Though I can't live without him
I know that I love you
How can I be happy
When I'm forced to choose?
I love you both, my heart is torn
Tormented thoughts burn in my brain
Neither one of you can I lose
But if I cause one joy I cause the other pain
Two choices placed in front of me
One life I'm required to choose
For everything I have to gain
There's just as much to lose
While my heart hangs in the balance
I know what I must do
Even though I'm leaving
Please know I do love you
And as I enter my new life
My mind is in a fog
And while the lion loves the lamb
The lamb also loves a dog
