She’s standing at a crossing light
With two roads burning in her eyes
One leads to dreams she’s chased for years
One holds the love she leaves behind
A suitcase by the bedroom door
His shadow fading on the wall
He says, “If you go, I’ll understand”
But tears are hiding in his voice
She’s got a heart full of questions
And no one tells her what is right
Should she choose the world before her
Or stay and hold on through the night
One life calls her name in neon
One love whispers soft and slow
If she stays, she fears she’ll lose herself
If she leaves, she lets him go
One dream is waiting at the station
One heart is breaking in her hands
How do you choose between tomorrow
And the one who understands
She remembers all the small things
Coffee cups and rainy days
The way he held her broken pieces
The way he begged her heart to stay
But she was born with restless footsteps
And stars that pull her far away
Some dreams demand a lonely leaving
Some love was never meant to stay
She’s got a heart full of questions
And no one tells her what is right
How do you choose between forever
And the fire inside your life
One life calls her name in neon
One love whispers soft and slow
If she stays, she fears she’ll lose herself
If she leaves, she lets him go
One dream is waiting at the station
One heart is breaking in her hands
How do you choose between tomorrow
And the one who understands
So she walks into the morning
With his name still on her lips
Carrying both love and longing
In the ache of fingertips
And somewhere in another lifetime
Maybe they don’t have to choose
But here beneath these waking city lights
Someone always has to lose
One life calls her name in neon
One love fades into the blue
She keeps walking toward the sunrise
With a heart split into two
One dream may take her far from home
One love may never leave her soul
Some choices leave a scar forever
Some losses make us whole
The train pulls out, the sky turns gold
His memory stays behind
She chose the road that led her onward
But left her heart in time
