<p>There are two fighting inside.</p>
<p>One says it’s not worth the hassle.<br />
The other knows he doesn’t feel right.</p>
<p>One says it would be rash.<br />
The other knows it won’t get better by itself.</p>
<p>One says it’ll end in regret.<br />
The other knows it can’t get any worse.</p>
<p>One says it’s fine to just like certain things.<br />
The other knows it goes deeper than just hobbies.</p>
<p>One says those dreams are just that.<br />
The other knows of the disappointment after waking.</p>
<p>One says those childhood fantasies are things everyone has.<br />
The other knows now the meaning those held.</p>
<p>One says only judgment will come from it.<br />
The other knows the ones that matter will be accepting.</p>
<p>One says there’s no going back.<br />
The other knows she would be fine.</p>
<p>But it’s the one to speak that continues to win out.</p>
