lyrics

Standing on the edge
Of a world laid bare
I've got nothing to say
You've got nothing to share

So I opened up my ears
To a song that's new
I'm no good with the words
But I can sing about you

When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead

But you're living in a world
Where the sky turns black
I don't know what to think
Don't know how to react

So I'll write this all down
Just to burn it in flames
Write five more songs
With five less names

When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead

When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
Now I say
The path that you've led
The choices you make
You're never better off dead

When you said
I couldn't stay
I should've stayed
A step behind
