I had eyes but I could not see, I hurt everybody who believed in me | |
I had it all but I lost the key, oh | |
I saw the world through fogged-up glasses, like some Lothario making passes | |
I showed the world just what an ass is, oh | |
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head | |
Trouble in paradise, treadin' on the thinnest ice | |
Oh-oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said | |
Cuttin' with a razor blade, spendin' every cent I made | |
Over the edge | |
I dreamed of standin' on my own two feet | |
My fists held high and I clenched my teeth | |
But I'd wake up to the same old me, oh | |
I was living a lie, but you brought me truth | |
Afraid to cry, but you taught me to | |
You stood beside me, now I'll stand by you, oh | |
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head | |
I wasn't foolin' anyone, playin' with a loaded gun | |
Oh-oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said | |
I was numbing all the pain, you taught me how to feel again | |
(Solo) | |
If I had died, it would have been a shame | |
They'd have said 'he only had himself to blame' | |
You saved my life when you called my name, oh | |
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head | |
I was numbing all the pain, you showed me how to feel again | |
Oh-oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said | |
When you looked me in the eyes, you finally made me recognize | |
Oh-oh, over the edge (repeats 4x) |
