In the quiet of the evening when the stars begin to shine
I sit and think of both of you these tangled hearts of mine
One's a gentle whisper like a breeze upon my skin
The other's like a roaring flame burning deep within
Oh why does the heart have just one beat?
Why can't it dance to a different tune?
I'm lost between the strong and sweet
But I know I'll have to choose real soon
I look up to the sky and I ask the stars above
Why does the universe stay silent when I need it to speak of love?
You hold me with a tender touch your eyes so soft and kind
And when I'm with you I feel safe like I've left the world behind
But then he comes with strength and fire a storm I can't resist
I'm caught between your gentle waves and his burning kiss
Oh why does the heart have just one beat?
Why can't it dance to a different tune?
I'm lost between the strong and sweet
But I know I'll have to choose real soon
I look up to the sky and I ask the stars above
Why does the universe stay silent when I need it to speak of love?
I don't want to break a heart I don't want to see you cry
But I can't keep pretending that this choice won't pass me by
So I close my eyes and hope to find the courage I need
But all I hear is silence and my heart begins to bleed
Why can't the stars just tell me which road is meant to be?
Why must I choose between the two when both are part of me?
The universe is quiet and I'm left here all alone
With just one heart to give in this love I've never known
