LYRICS=[VERSE 1]\\
I'm catching my breath\\
Is this my final test?\\
I'm at my wit's end, you've taken my friends\\
My reason for living you now possess\\
\\
You're staring me down\\
The greed in your eyes wants the crown\\
You smirk, say it's a fair trade\\
All my power, to keep my friends safe\\
\\
I see it in their eyes\\
They'd rather their demise\\
Than risk the safety of the world\\
But I couldn't live if I let them get hurt\\
\\
[PRECHORUS 1]\\
They tell me not to do it\\
They say we'll get through it\\
We'll find another way\\
\\
But I can't take that risk\\
and I hope for their forgiveness\\
I turn and I say\\
\\
[CHORUS 1]\\
I have to give it up\\
My power isn't enough\\
But my love for them is greater\\
So my magic can't be the deal breaker\\
\\
I know I'm defying the plan\\
But please try to understand\\
You saved me from myself\\
I can't let this be farewell\\
\\
They have to be safe first \\
Nothing can be a deal breaker\\
\\
[VERSE 2]\\
I can see it in their eyes\\
The light that shines right through\\
Tells me that I'm right\\
And that we'll be okay if I have you\\
\\
It's a tense negotiation\\
Save my friends but risk the nation\\
But it's the only thing available\\
I can't just let you take them\\
\\
\\
[PRECHORUS 2]\\
They look at me with sadness\\
Like I've lead the world to blackness\\
But I know I've made the right choice\\
\\
But you've kept one more\\
You ask me if I'm sure\\
that I want the traitor\\
but I tell you that he's a dealbreaker\\
\\
[CHORUS 2]\\
I have to give it up\\
My power isn't enough\\
But my love for them is greater\\
So my magic can't be the deal breaker\\
\\
I know I'm defying the plan\\
But please try to understand\\
You saved me from myself\\
I can't let this be farewell\\
\\
They have to be safe first \\
Nothing can be a deal breaker\\
\\
[BRIDGE]\\
This is it\\
I've seen the light\\
One last fight\\
It's down to this\\
\\
But in their eyes\\
I see their love \\
and It's enough\\
We'll win this time\\
\\
I feel it in my heart\\
Letting go was the key to playing my part\\
And I know what we need, to light up this dark\\
This is what we needed to carry us far\\
\\
and I know that this\\
is not what I was told by the princess\\
but love and hate and dark and light\\
are far more than the magic I carry inside\\
\\
my friends must be safe first\\
Nothing can be a dealbreaker\\
\\
[CHORUS 3]\\
I had to give it up\\
My own power wasn't enough\\
But our friendship is greater\\
So my magic was not the deal breaker\\
\\
With friends here by my side\\
We all have the strength to fight\\
They saved me from myself\\
I swear this won't be farewell\\
\\
They have to be safe first \\
Nothing could be a deal breaker

This song is about what would have been going through Twilight's head while fighting Tirek, when she was forced to make the impossible decision of choosing between following the plan given to her by Celestia, or risking the wellbeing of the entire world to save her friends.
