Mary MacGregor – Torn Between Two Lovers lyrics
There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word, let me tell you "I love you"
Let me hold you close, and say these words as gently as I can
"There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved,
But that doesn't mean I love you less,
And he knows he can't possess me, and he knows he never will,
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill"

(chorus)
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

You mustn't think you failed me just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had,
And all the things I ever said
I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

    I have tried to end this time and time again. We can't. We both belong to someone else yet to each other. So many people will get hurt of there were to find out. Its been a yr and a half already. I love them both and can't be without either one of them. Think about the other one when lm with this one and viceversa. My husband doesn't deserve this; yet l keep on having this affair; this love affair.

    I've been in this situation for two times now. It's really frustrating. It's hard to hurt someone. But it's also hard to fool yourself and to sacrifice your own happiness. It takes a lot of thinking on what decision to make. You need to be careful. It's either choose between the two or don't choose at all. Leaving yourself alone. Your happy when you're with the first man but your also happy with the second man. Really confusing. Why do we experience this kind of situation? Why loving two person if you only have one heart?

    God is the only way to let you understand the situation and provide you with the best decision. Don't forget to talk to Him and seek His guidance for the best way to do.

    I can relate to the song in a way. I am married five years and have been friends with my husband for ten. We decided to have a one sided open relationship after our relationship went south after having kids. We hardly see each other due to him having to work all the time and the children taking up a lot of my time. The sex was getting old and what time we did have together, we fought. Sometimes getting physical. Not him to clarify. And no I am not abusive, just bipolar with anxiety and uncontrollable outbursts. I couldn't help but want more so I discussed his low sex drive and my need for more and we decided it was best for our happiness. Of course I got on dating sites and made lots of friends but it was hard to explain my situation to people without being scolded for my infidelity or being gawked at for thinking I'm a whore or prostitute. Still our relationship was getting better and we were starting to feel happy again. I met a guy through a friend of his from elementary school. I've been seeing him for some time now. He fulfills my needs where my husband cannot. He gets along with my husband and treats my kids like princesses. I could hate everything about me and he would still think I'm perfect. We just recently said the four letter word that every woman's heart drops for. I don't know how to tell my husband I love this man. I know my husband loves me and my feelings for him have not changed. He is my first true love and the father of our two daughters. The truth is, I don't want to have to choose between both men. I love them both and am happy. I am going to work up the courage to tell my husband tonight. I can't wait to have it off of my chest. I hope my husband doesn't see me different. Last note. I love two very different men and they both love me. I refuse to choose between them but still torn between the two. I hope this won't be a slap in the face.

    Recently I had some problems with my boyfriend and during that time out of the blue my childhood friend came back to my life and obviously we found out that there were some "strings" that remains from yrs ago though we never said to each other. I have feelings for my childhood friend and he loves me right now. But I also love my current boyfriend and he is really pursuing me more than ever. I am so confused. I have been with my boyfriend for 9 months and I think I know him well. On the other hand my childhood friend hung out for 2 yrs -like 10yrs ago and he recently came back to my life. What should I do? I still have feelings for him.

    I don't know how to get out of being torned. All I know is I love him so I can't let him go, I can't tell him that I have loved someone else bcoz I don't want him to go only he knows I have a relationship to someone but he knows it was already end not knowing that this guy still on me. And now I finally decided to gv up this guy for him coz I don't want him to get hurt anymore but the problem is this guy don't want me to go anymore "pinagbantaan niya ko" he will do something hell if I will go and leave him. I reli don't know now what to do.

    I have been there. It was many years ago but the decision I made to stay still haunts me. I fear I might have made at least four mistakes. The first was getting married too young. The second was getting involved with someone else. The third was letting them slip away. The fourth was staying married and making my wife unhappy. She would be truly better off without me. I am such a coward.
    I hope I can become the man and husband she deserves.

    Its real. When a woman cheats its bc theres something missing in her relationship~you can be married, have a home, love ur husband and have everthing materialistic that you've ever wanted, yet the passion may be missing and this other person (an adventure) fullfills you in way ur husband never did and never will. You find the perfect relationship in 2 people. Its easily interpretted as cheating but to the woman its fullfilment.

    I beleive this was a woman in a committed relationship with partner 1 (which is probably a husband given the apologies and her not blaming him for walking away hoping he'll stay) but despite herself, she also loves partner 2 and can't let him go (no doubt a direct sexual impotency reference to the need only he can fill) and feeling trapped by the conventions of monogamy which is why she states loving them both is breaking all the rules (of society).

    To: Craig Wade
    I was lonely & hurt as my husband had filed for a divorce for the second time in 2 years. I was out and met this really nice guy that saved me from my self. We grew so close within 3 weeks, but then my husband came wanting me back. Due to circumstances, I let him. I think of the love & friendship, support and the self-esteem I had lost. Craig gave all & I hurt him. I already miss the way he made me feel. I miss him very much. Tr.
