I'm at the edge.
this is a dangerous ledge.
I only wish you could have taken this pledge.
except my heart.
remember? like you promised from the start,
but instead you aren't taking part.
now I have a broken heart.
I'm trying to find a reason why you didn't love me too.
I guess I will never be good enough for you.
now you have me at the edge of my mind
just trying to find some reason why you didn't love me too.
my tears fall down now,
and no I'm not to blame, its you.

&quot;It&#039;s just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It&#039;s the universe&#039;s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It&#039;s how life is.&quot;
