“It remains to be seen to which side I'm gonna lean.
Which road will I choose, what will I gain, what will I lose?
Am I gonna come to my senses and see the light
in letting go of what I want in order to do what's right?
Oh but right by whom? By me or by you?

It鈥檚 just a crossroads. Is the light red or is it green?
I鈥檓 getting mixed signals, I really don鈥檛 know what they mean.
If I wasn鈥檛 temporarily blind, if I could only take one look I know I鈥檇 find
how simple it all is. How much do I really own this?
Is enough not enough? Am I really in love? Or is it nothing but a test?
Well if you wanna try me go ahead and be my guest.

Cos I myself would like to know which way we're to go.
I guess it鈥檚 undecided yet so I鈥檒l take it slow,
but as I regain my sight, I know I will do what鈥檚 right.
Indeed it鈥檚 just a crossroads. Now that I鈥檓 willing to clearly see
things for what they really are and not what I鈥檇 like them to be.
There鈥檚 nothing left to think about. I know the way now, I鈥檝e no more doubt.
I let go and release. You do the same for me, please.”
