A man must choose from his long-time girlfriend and a fiery fling that may be true love.
I feel like I will never be
half as important as she
is to you,
and if that's true,
then why do you hold on to me?

You made me think I had a place
in your life, but you gave no space
to speak my mind;
you keep me confined,
but i think it's time you heard my case.

I don't get how you could make
me feel so good and even take
my breath away
with the words you say,
so I have to say:
Was it all a fake?

My friends and I have had a collision
'cause I talk about you like you're my religion
This may make you mad,
but you're making me sad.
Lots of time you've had,
NOW MAKE A DECISION.
