On The Brink
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the brink of my eternity
The well I almost fall into
I've been thinking 'bout what's called destiny
And the things you never do
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To do them too
Like the things you never told me then
Did you try too hard to please?
Did you ask yourself, what if and when?
Did it fly off in the breeze?
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To catch those dreams
These things
Matters more than we know
And these dreams
Sends us to the stars
And this life
Is the only one
And your love
Is my guide
In the hour of our confession
In the times we fear the most
We get judged beyond dimension
For our silly little falls
But I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To make it right
These things
Matters more than we know
And these dreams
Sends us to the stars
And this life
Is the only one
And your love
Is my guide
We all carry guilt and burdens
So our backs get crooked and bent
And we rarely never mention
The forgiveness heaven-sent
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To let it in
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To let it in
Let it in
Let it in
