I'm torn
Between two extremes
Do I tell you how I feel?
And risk my comfort in your words.
Or do I tell you a lie?
And miss the comfort in your arms.

This decision is weighing on my heart
I can't decide what to do
I don't want to lose you
But I fear both choices
Truth and lie
May eventually lead to hurt

Can you help me decide?
Do I tell the truth?
Or keep living the lie?
I'm stuck in the middle
Please lend me a hand
I'm unsusre of where to go
