Right

I did not know what I now see plainly
Worlds away but still in sight
She constructs a fantasy, in how she sees me
to help her avoid what
She knows to be right

I had given in to urge not love insanely
Satan helped feed my plight
What may have been perfect, I now reflect
Something I sought
Instead of doing right

Now I sit in an unsightly space
Having no control over setting it straight
I've done what's been done, now must face
Took curves too fast in attempt to win the race

What can you do when you know the truth?
It hurts more to grow when you wasted your youth
Sit on your hands making demands
Or reside in delight
Siding with the right

She's stuck in the old and I scared her from the new
I'd make it work out if there were anything to do
But until she knows her own heart
Where she will keep me in sight
And that I represent what's right
