Crossroads of the Heart

[Verse 1] In the quiet of the night, memories flood my mind Of a love once burning bright, a touch I can't rewind Years have passed, but you're here again, saying it's not too late But I made my choice, I can't betray the love I've come to embrace [Chorus] I love him, oh I love him, he's the anchor to my soul Yet you're the whisper of a passion, a chapter left untold So I'll say goodbye, though it tears me apart For the sake of what I've built, I'll guard my fragile heart [Verse 2] We were fire in the rain, sparks that couldn't last A fleeting dance of pleasure, a love too wild to grasp Now you stand before me, regret etched in your eyes But I've woven a life with another, where my truth lies [Chorus] I love him, oh I love him, he's my home and my best friend But you're the echo of a longing, a story at its end So I'll say goodbye, though it breaks me in two For the promises I've made, for the love that's tried and true [Bridge] It's not that I don't feel it, the pull of what we shared But time has shaped my heart, and I can't pretend I'm not scared Of losing all I've known, of shattering his trust So with a heavy heart, I must leave you in the dust [Chorus] I love him, oh I love him, he's the light in my dark night Yet you're the ghost of a passion, a dream I hold so tight So I'll say goodbye, though it tears me inside For the life I've chosen, for the love I won't deny [Outro] Farewell to what could've been, to the echoes of our past I'll cherish the memories, but I'll make this love last I'll carry your shadow, a secret in my heart As I walk away, knowing we're worlds apart
