A riddle only you can answer

What if i had a choice
what if a decision to make
maybe you can help me answer this riddle
which road should i take

should i sit back
let you pass me by
i would never want to disappoint you
before i do i would die

I'm stuck in a shadow
its called my fears
I'm drowning in a river
a river called my tears

burning a hole is my mind
just thinking about you
i cant live without you here
i wouldn't know what to do

i tried to tell you how i feel
i must have tried a hundred times
the only reason i got to stop here
is because I'm running out of lines
