I’m caught in the middle
I don’t know what to say
I love you both so deeply
Yet I want to run away

One is a soul of my heart
And the other of my womb
It seems my days that pass
Are always filled with gloom

With every brand new sunrise
Can’t you see inside my heart?
And how the constant fighting
Is just tearing it apart

Neither one is understanding
All of what the other needs
And I stand in the middle
To not allow the rage to feed

But my spirit feels so torn
When all I feel is disarray
I have to find a peaceful place
Just to bow my head to pray

I pray that God will lead you
And you both begin to see
Exactly what this war zone
Has torn inside of me

Our life so full of ultimatums
Those that should not be born
I wish that the both of you
Could see my heart is torn

I cannot choose between you
For that would surely be unfair
Yet it seems that I am forced to
And yet neither of you care
