here I am standing on the edge

digging up an oath that I once pledge

should I jump or should I stay

should I make this my last day

I am sinking fast in the quicksand

and there's no one here to take my hand

so I'm ready to jump and fall to the ground

don't bother to catch me when I go down



chorus

and there is this pain I cannot hide

I feel it tear me apart deep inside

and there is no one here by my side

can't you see how much I have tried

can anyone see beyond my disguise

can anyone see my truth instead of my lies

cause no matter how much I try

I can't seem to get by

and somewhere along the way I died

I drowned in a pool of tears uncried



so many times the tears have come

but I couldn't cry them, I was too numb

I could feel the pain but my eyes would freeze

so I cried invisible tears that no one sees

but what happens when the ice in my eyes start to melt

what happens when my eyes tell the story of every ounce of pain felt

I'm taking another step towards the edge

I'm about to jump from this ledge

chorus



I'm standing here

filled with fear

counting to ten

over and over again

but it's too late to save me

it's too late to save me

chorus
