Torn between two lovers

There are times when a woman has to say
what's on her mind, even though she knows
how much it's gonna hurt

Before i say another word
let me tell you " i love you"
let me hold you close and say these words
as gently as i can

There's been another man
that i've needed and i've loved
but that doesn't mean
i love you less

And he knows, he can't posses me
and he knows, he never will
there's just this empty place inside of me
that only he can fill

Torn between two lovers
feelin' like a fool
lovin' both of you
is breakin' all the rules

You mustn't think you've failed me
just because there's someone else
you were the first real love i ever had

And all the things i ever said
i swear they still are true
for no one else can have
the part of me i gave to you

I couldn't really blame you
if you turned and walked away
but with everything i feel inside
i'm asking you to stay...
