Why don't you burn me at the stake like

I'm some kind of martyr

Cause all that's left of my life is pain and disaster

They'll send out a warrant and then they'll come after

To capture the dragon to put out the fire

If you leave the door open you'll be hit by the riot

But live with it shut and you're life will stay quiet

You captured the castle while I hid in silence

You carried the weight of the world on a wire

Well stand together we'll stand at the edge

Holding each other before our last breath

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I always loved you

If you decide to jump jump jump jump jump jump

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I was proud of you

If you decide to jump jump today

For someone so misunderstood you were so understanding

And when my head was flying high you helped me safely landing

When dark crept in, I wanted to fall, but you kept me standing

But now your the one who needs saving tonight

You used to say I had no fear and my actions were reckless

But now it's you who's fears came true and I'm feeling so helpless

Now we're repeating history, it all seems so senseless

We're falling apart but the problems aren't mine

Well stand together we'll stand at the edge

Holding each other before our last breath

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I always loved you

If you decide to jump jump jump today

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I was proud of you

If you decide to jump jump jump today

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I always loved you

If you decide to jump jump jump today

If you decide to jump

I'll be the first to say I was proud of you

If you decide to jump jump jump today
