Decision

My heart is already
torn apart from you
All I ask is your decision --
is that too much to ask?
All I ask is your decision --
must you break my heart in two?

You break down my
defenses with your stare
All I ask is your decision --
or must My heart you tear?
All I ask is your decision --
or do you even care?

I think I’ve taken
all that I could take
All I ask is your decision --
is it one you cannot make?
All I ask is your decision --
how long must I now ache?

You love me, but you
have her by your side
All I ask is your decision --
is it hard for you to hide?
All I ask is your decision --
it’s with me you confide
All I ask is your decision --
does she know you lied?

you say you want me
but you want her too
All I ask is your decision --
I will not wait for you
All I ask is your decision --
I will not be your fool
