Torn between the two,
While love hangs in the balance.
The last heartbreak cut me too deep.
The chance that fairy tales exists only in dreams,
Scares me so bad I can't help but scream.
Not sure what pulls me to him,
When on a regular basis I'm not 'The One'.
Is it the chase?
Wanting to win, Gotta be first place?
The perfectionist in me has to win,
But is it worth it in the end?
Been down this road before,
Left me bruised and sore.
What makes this time different,
When he's always left me wanting more?
A chance at the fairy tale I've always dreamed of.
A man thats not ready to run for the door.
In this case the heartbreak could be worse than before.
Tired of playing games,
Trying to convince myself all men ain't the same.
It's gonna take a lot to take down these walls.
Hard to believe there could be a happily ever after,
After all.
He's in this for the long haul,
Ready to pick me up when I fall.
Still rather be safe than sorry.
It's why I'm tempted to side with the expected.
A let down is better than free fall.
Rather play in the shallow end
Than have it drop off unexpectedly.
Hard to trust something that's prone to leaving you hurt.
Yet, every time I try to walk away,
I hear something inside me say stay.
Now I'm sitting here torn between the used to be and before.
The possibility of a fairy tale,
Or the man that leaves me wanting more.

option 1 i chose this title because when trying to explain this to my boyfriend regarding letting my ex go all I could say was that I was conflicted.
