On the Edge

by Owner of an Untamed Heart   Jan 2, 2012


I'm on the edge, in way over my head
while you beg me not to jump
interior of my tears is not even fear
it's the sadness I no longer want

if I don't let the ocean swallow me whole
would you have me in your arms and never let go
or would you still leave me in this world alone
where I'd be back on this cliff again

I'm on the edge of the highest ledge
below, the waves violently hits the sides
you're speaking the most alluring words to me now
that you never thought to say when you were mine

if I let the tears fall; drowning and aching
would you regret hearing my heart breaking
or with every breath that you're taking
you'd make her love you more than I did

I don't know whether to fall effortlessly
or stall just to listen to what you're saying to me
about how much you want me in your world
and no matter what, I'm still your girl

but you're just saying these things now
if I were to turn back around
you'd hug me or kiss me until the thought of her returns
and you'll remember you said the same exact thing to her

and I'll be left miserable for the last time
I'd go back to the cliff and clear my mind
cry the last tear I'll ever cry
cause without you, why even be alive
