Fuel return line broken question

I was changing my starter ('00 2500 2WD) last night and the wrench literally bumped a fuel line and it broke completely in half. I am thinking it is the return line because it looks like it comes off the back of the injection system on top of the engine and drains back to the tank. Also, it had just a little bit of leakage. The other line beside it runs to the lift pump. Does this sound right? Does anyone have recommendations as to how to fix this? Can I just run regular fuel line or do I need to get an OEM part? What kind of performance setup should I look at when replacing this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just repair. Sounds like return line at rear of cyl head. You'll have to get it off for repair.

Will I have to take all of the lines off or just where the rubber hose connects to the gold color hoses? I guess there is some special connector there but I can't tell. The connector looks to be right above the starter and, yes, it looks like it comes from the back of the head.
