Now That I've Seen Her

ELLEN
I don't want this
don't want to fight her
what did I do
I didn't come here
to meet a girl
who loves my husband
Chris has a son
he has to see him
but if he does
she'll be there with him

I came here to help, but what do I do?
now, after this, what can I do?

there are days
there are days when your life clouds over
and the world gets so dark
that all at once you can't tell night from day

there are times
when your heart cries this isn't happening
but the truth is cold and real
and I know this storm won't go away

it's her or me
now there's no way to hide
she is not some fling
from long ago
it's her or me
now I know why he lied
and I think it was better when I didn't know

in her eyes, in her voice
in the heat that filled the air
part of him still lingers there
I know what pain her life today must be
but if it all comes down to her or me
I won't wait, I swear, I'll fight

it's her or me
and it's me he must choose
I don't hate this girl even so
it's her or me
it's a fight I can't lose
I can't live wondering where his heart is
now I have to know
