Conflicted

Everyone tells you to leave, but all you want to do is stay.

I wanted to leave him,

They said, "run as fast as you can",

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

I can tell that it's gonna be a long road.

I had a bad feeling,

Standing by and waiting at your back door,

Praying the floor won't fall through again,

I'd be smart to walk away.

But I've been loving you for quite some time,

I can't decide if it's a choice,

Finding myself at your door,

You belong with me.

Author's Note

Everyone give a big thank you to EmiPoemi for giving me the idea to write a homage!
Extra points to Hufflepuff if you can guess which songwriter these lyrics are from and if you can find out which songs. There are lyrics from eight different songs. Good luck!

I felt the confliction, I have been in a situation such as this. It tears you apart to leave but it is also the best thing for you to do. Good Job.

nicely expressed and written

Unique concept
Works for me.I think this is a great way to open up your feelings of doubt and frustration. In the end love will win no matter what your decision

Aww.....I got a shoutout. I was wondering whether or not you received my message. Now tell me that wasn't fun! lol! Anyway, I don't think I'm familiar with the artist (so no points to Hufflepuff - wah -.....I'm a Ravenclaw anyhow), but with respect to the quality of this, it's amazing. Indeed, it would be even more amazing were I to understand all the references, but the narrative, imagery, and flow is spectacular. Well done!
