[Verse 1]
Bad habits, I am
Rushing through my life
Like cigarettes and
Even though I try
I never quit. It's why I live
[Verse 2]
Sirens flash
We scatter off the floor
My drink in hand
Stumblin' from the door
At two AM, it's the girl I am
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama always said
Girls who are living on the edge
Fall that much harder when you're there
And you know there's nothing higher
It's a lonely view
[Chorus]
Now I'm crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
'Cause I stared at the sky all night
Crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
Living on the edge is a lonely life
[Verse 3]
I played my cards
Hiding hearts under my sleeve
And laughed it off
When he smiled and said to me
"hey, soon you'll find that you're cold inside"
[Verse 4]
Guys come along
When they ask I always say, no
They won't want
A girl who walks herself home
The story goes, I end up on my doorstep alone
And I know there's nothing higher (x3)
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama always said
Girls who are living on the edge
Fall that much harder when you're there
And you know there's nothing higher
It's a lonely view
[Chorus]
Now I'm crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
'Cause I stared at the sky all night
Crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
Living on the edge is a lonely life
[Bridge]
I like the rush, the pain, the games
The falling love and the endless chase
I like the rush, the pain, the games
Till it hits me that I'm alone in a winner-less race
[Pre-Chorus]
Mama always said
Girls who are living on the edge
Fall that much harder when you're there
And you know there's nothing higher
It's a lonely view
[Chorus]
Now I'm crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
'Cause the thrill is starting to die
Crying in the streetlight, the streetlight
Living on the edge is a lonely life
