[Verse 1] I stood between two burning roads, One was home and one was hope. Each one called with something true, Each one asked, “Who are you?” One had your arms, your voice, your name, The other lit a different flame. But I can’t walk both ways tonight, And still believe I chose what's right. [Pre-Chorus] This isn’t doubt, this isn’t fear— It’s knowing loss lives either here… or here. [Chorus] There’s no clean line to draw, No mercy in this war. Whichever door I close, It hurts me more than you’ll know. I didn’t ask to feel this split, To love and break inside of it. But now I see—the middle’s gone, And I can’t stay where I don’t belong. [Verse 2] You say love can stretch and bend, Make new beginnings, not just end. But every inch I try to give, Feels like a place I cease to live. If I choose peace, I lose my truth, If I choose you, I bruise what's new. And if I walk, I break us both— There’s no choice here without a ghost. [Chorus] There’s no clean line to draw, No mercy in this war. Whichever path I take, Something sacred's gonna break. I didn’t ask to feel this tear, To stand in fire and still care. But now I see—the middle’s gone, And I can’t stay where I don’t belong. [Bridge] This ain’t betrayal, it ain’t escape, It’s just a heart that couldn’t take Being loved by halves, by hope, by thread— I need to breathe or I’m already dead. [Final Chorus] There’s no clean line to draw, Just wreckage after all. But if I walk with empty hands, At least I’ll know I made a stand. I didn’t ask to lose this much, But loving both just wasn't love. Now I know—the middle lied, And I'm done trying to survive both sides. [Outro] I can't stay where I don’t belong.
