TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS
Gracie Rivera Lyrics

Torn between two lovers
The singer is in love with two people and is struggling to choose between them.

There are times when a woman
The singer notes that women, like men, experience emotional conflicts

Has to say what's on her mind
The singer feels compelled to be honest about her feelings

Even though she knows
Despite anticipating the devastating impact of her words, the artist decides to speak her truth

How much it's gonna hurt
The artist is aware that her words are going to cause pain

Before I say another word
The singer prefaces her confession with a plea to be heard

Let me tell you "I love you"
The singer asserts that her feelings have not changed despite her conflict

Let me hold you close, and say these words
The artist desires to comfort her lover amidst the pain she is causing

As gently as I can
The artist strives to be as gentle as possible when delivering her difficult message

There's been another man
The artist has feelings for someone else

That I've needed and I've loved
The singer has a genuine emotional attachment to the other person

But that doesn't mean I love you less
The artist assures her original lover that her feelings have not changed

And he knows he can't possess me
The singer's other lover is aware that she is torn between two people

And he knows he never will
The singer's other lover understands that she may never choose him

There's just this empty place inside of me
The singer feels incomplete without the other lover

That only he can fill
The artist believes only the other lover can fill the void

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
The artist is conflicted and feels foolish for being in this situation

Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
The singer recognizes that her actions defy social norms and expectations

You mustn't think you failed me
The singer reassures her original lover that he is not at fault for her feelings

Just because there's someone else
The artist's conflicted emotions do not diminish her original lover's importance

You were the first real love I ever had
The artist cherishes her history with her original lover

And all the things I ever said
The artist's previous affirmations of love remain true

I swear they still are true
The singer maintains that her love has not decreased

And no one else can have the part of me
The artist has given a part of herself to her original lover that she cannot give to anyone else

I gave to you
The singer reminds her original lover of the deep connection they share

I couldn't really blame you
The singer understands if her original lover chooses to leave

If you turned and walked away
The singer acknowledges that her confession may have serious consequences

But with everything I feel inside
The artist is driven by her emotions to confess her conflict

I'm asking you to stay
The artist desires for her original lover to remain in her life despite her conflict
