Choice

I live with the ghost of the promises we broke And the fear of the pain and regret I wonder at times if the words we once ryhmed Are words I'm supposed to forget You live with the pain of anger in vain And fear that I'll give up or give in I'm offering to make up for the pain But you have to give me a chance again Inside the confusion lies the answers you need And until you make up your mind The love of the past won't let you be free And the love now is making you blind Run away, walk away, turn around, stay But do something that gives you a voice Don't let others make decisions for you That should be only your choice So I wait, and you struggle inside of yourself Knowing the truth of where your dreams lie A heart in your hands and one on the shelf Which will continue or die with goodbye? So I live with the ghost of the promises we broke And the fear of the pain and regret But I remember those times when the words did rhyme And I know I can never forget
