I cannot willingly walk the same broken path that she did
I cannot place my own feet
Into her worn out, ****** shoes
My feet feel to flee so far away.
This path I cannot choose.
For I was shown
That love is not enough
When it comes to them and their religion
Love is not all you need

I cannot destroy my own future
Throw away my happiness
Both of us miserable,
Hiding in the shadows
How can that sound good at all?

I love you,
I do.
And I would like nothing else more than to live a happy, long life with you

But I cannot marry your beliefs
And because of that
I cannot...

Give up and say
So much for 'happily ever after'!
