Various Artists - The Edge lyrics

You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait All those words we spoke in vain I still recall the bitter taste I guess some things never change And then I think of yesterday And every promise that you made I never thought I'd be The one that you would break But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge So this is how it all turns out You're the hero, I'm left out I should've known you couldn't stand Up for me and be a man I still have dreams of you at night I can't tell the dark from light I never thought I'd be The one you'd leave behind But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life With each step I hold my breath And I'm tangled in your spiderwebs How could, how could I fall And I wonder if you ever cared at all But I will fight until the day the world stops turning And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning But tonight I need you to save me I'm too close to breaking, I see the light I am standing on the edge of my life I am standing on the edge of my life Standing on the edge of my life I am standing on the edge of my life
