Tug of War

Standing here at this alter 
I don't know what to do 
I'm suppose to be happy
But I'm feeling sad and blue
Torn between what I want and what I need
Lord, give me some mercy please
Looking into your eyes, makes me realize
That I have been lying to myself 
Because I'm in love with someone else
Someone you trust and knew
But still you have no clue 
Of this passion I have for another 
I'm sorry to say he's close like a brother 
So I join my hand with you 
Knowing that our love will never be true
Before God and man 
I have to take a stand
And do what is right 
Even though its a hard fight
So I will close this door 
Still in a tug of war....

oh my ... how puzzling ... "knowing that our love will never be true" ... calm down ... love is never untrue ... our next kiss will be blown to you ... brace yourself ...
