Lyrics

I should try to speak

but all this fighting left me weak

If I could defend

but the ink runs from my pen

I’d beg you not to go away

We should be here together

Though we are somewhere near the edge

I’m begging you don’t go away

We should be getting better

Though we are somewhere near the edge

And if I could erase

I’d leave the past without a trace

and with picture-perfect valentine

Replace the words disguised as mine

And beg you not to go away

We should be here together

Though we are somewhere near the edge

I’m begging you don’t go away

We should be getting better

Though we are somewhere near the edge

Life is not living without you

Love is not loving without you

This is something that I feel

the tight squeeze and the cracking cold steel

and I can’t stop it – my heart

must be breaking

I’m begging you don’t go away

We should be here together

Though we are somewhere near the edge

I’m begging you don’t go away

We should be getting better

Though we are somewhere near the edge

Why are we somewhere near the edge
