Lyrics

The Edge

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.

You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait

All those words were spoke in vain

I still recall the bitter taste

I guess some things never change

And then I think of yesterday

And every promise that you made

I never thought I'd be

The one that you would break

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge

So this is how it all turns out?

You're the hero, I'm left down

I should've known you couldn't stand

Up for me and be a man

I still have dreams of you at night

I can't tell the dark from light

I never thought I'd be

The one you'd leave behind

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

We've been stuck

I hold my breath

And I'm tangled in your spiderwebs

I choke

How could I fall?

And I wonder if you ever cared at all

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning

And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me

I'm too close to breaking, I see the light

I am standing on the edge of my life

I am standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge of my life

I am standing on the edge of my life
