I love them both, can't have them both.It's tearing me apart!My former joy and present boy:Both have got my heart.
I have to choose, so I must loseSomeone I really love.It feels like dirt that I must hurtA guy that I dream of.
Why this must be I cannot see;I only know I must.Each might endure, for I am sureThat this is love, not lust.
I weep and wail to no avail;I can't say no to either.But if I can't tell what I want,Could that mean I want neither?
