Being Blind

The world Or him Choose between A safe, calm, ignorant life And the Right life for me My parents' ideals Or mine Give in, give up this pain And forever lose him My heart breaks at this Choice I've given up my Friends, comfort, dreams, Nearly everything For him And now this I wish it wasn't so hard, but It's still worth the pain If you have true love If you have salvation If you have a happy life Why would you give it all up? For a faulty marriage, Damnation, and a lifetime Of regrets I won't I refuse to let this go They can hurt me, Take everything away from me, But they can't change this And if they can't accept it I'll leave
