song lyrics

Circumstance made way for opportunity;
In its wake, it left a choice.
Go the way I've gone before,
Or hold out for something more;
Would I find my way and then rejoice?

Pre-Chorus
Should I hope she'd still reciprocate,
Or let new interests formulate?
Revisit a potential mate,
Or leave it in the hands of fate?

Chorus
Will I find true love in front of or behind me?
Is this situation's purpose to remind me
That I might find love, but true love just might find me,
Oh, instead?

I had loved before, so I could love again;
Maybe this new venture wouldn't be in vain.
But perhaps, I'd be remiss, passing up potential bliss,
The understanding two old lovers could attain.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

What would you do in my place?
Could you ever hope to face
This conundrum and decide?
Would it overwhelm your mind as well?
Is there any way to tell if this
Indecision will always haunt us from inside?
Choose a path to circumvent;
Here I face the oracle's lament.
(Such is the oracle's lament.)
