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
