On the edge, I wait
Hands held tightly…together
Waiting for the name
I wallow in my shame
I played a dangerous game
Hold it all inside, they said
Don’t you speak of this disgrace
(till you’re six feet underground)
People whisper silently
I can’t even show my face
(can you turn your life around)
Don’t think positive
I’ll only crush myself
We just have to learn
In our mistakes we cause concern
But in the end it’s only me who’ll burn
What will you do, they scream at me
Turning nights to endless days
(is there shelter from your fear)
My decisions have no weight
I can only run away
(it’s your voice you have to hear)
Hold it all inside, they said
Don’t you speak of this disgrace
(till you’re six feet underground)
Whispers turn so deafening
I can’t live with my own face
(can you turn your life around)
What will you do they scream at me
Leaving my wound so exposed
(is there shelter from your fear)
Twisted words and loving arms
No one else will ever know
(it’s your voice you have to hear)
Sometimes my dreams feel all on hold
There's no doubt that this will make me strong
Because it's the hardest thing I've ever done
Despite this cruel world
And all my best efforts
You surprise me with just how perfect you are
Even with all my flaws
And my bad examples
You surprise me with
Just how perfect you are
And when I'm lost
You search for me
And when I doubt
You're my belief
I'm suppose to be
The stronger one
You always seem
To prove that theory wrong
Still, I hold my breath each time you go
Out in the world that's beyond my control
If you are dreaming
I never want to wake you up
When I'm all in a spin
Full of cynicism
You remind me of just how perfect you are
When I'm at my wit's end
And I'm losing my head
You remind me of just how lucky I am
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I
Tears streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
