The RIGHT THING TO DO (JUST SEEMS SO WRONG)


The right thing to do is to let you go
Back to a life that is functional
To something more predictable
Just because you’re so right for me
Just what I need and all I see
Love comes with no guarantee

The right thing to do is to take no risk
to not be swayed by all of this
the easy laughter, that timeless kiss
for just beneath our passion lies
the tingling tenderness that flies
as lightning bolts between our eyes

    And some folks say enjoy the ride
    but protect that loving heart inside
    perhaps the measure of this man
    is giving you the best I can
    for all I long for is just this -
    your everlasting happiness

The right thing to do is to love you more
And leave behind what I adore
Fall back alone just like before
For truly love is sacrifice
And just as true we roll the dice
Hoping love will strike us twice
Before our hearts turn into ice
