The decision is yours, and yours alone
Where you ultimately make your home
But if you choose to go away
Then there's one more thing I have to say
It took just one night, you captured my heart
And I dread the day when you depart
But I wouldn't trade it for all the world
Just that once, to be your girl
Carry always the memory of me
For I've held your heart and set it free
Now you go to follow your dreams
Never look back on what could have been
Your history with her is long, I know
And I send best wishes wherever you go
Just bad timing, for both of us
It's a destiny we'll have to trust
Knowing that doesn't make it hurt less
But I guess it's choosing whatever's best
I told you not to just throw it away
I lied, I'm selfish, I want you to stay
But I can't be part of your decision now
Or the reason you'd stay anyhow
It has to be you, and only you
Whose heart decides what's right and true
And if that's her, or if that's me
Or if it's nothing in between
You're the one who must choose, with no doubts
And never regret what you're living without
I'll say goodbye with a smile, hug and tear
And always keep your memory near
So only look forward, never back, when we part
And know that I love you, for always, dear heart
