Running On The Edge
© 2010 D. George
You dona019t know how you got here, you just arrived one day.
Whata019s left of your hopes and dreams is a broken life that wasna019t meant to be this way.
You dona019t know how it happened, but it happened all so fast.
Ita019s funny how the good times didna019t last.
Like a runaway freight train, you cana019t apply the brakes
You know how the story ends, so you ease the pain, by whatever means it takes.
The bottlea019s are different, the poisona019s still the same.
And you wish that there was someone else to blame.
Youa019re scared youa019re too far gone to do the things you know you should.
But the good things dona019t come easy, and the easy things arena019t good.
CHORUS:
a018Cuz youa019re running on the edge, gettinga019 ready to fall
A pocket full of nothing, and youa019re about to lose it all.
Ita019s hard to build a future, when youa019re saddled with the past.
Youa019re gonna need Goda019s mercy to help you find some peace at last.
When youa019re running on the edge about to fall.
Everybodya019s left you, the onea019s that you called friends.
The price that you had to pay for their loyalty wasna019t worth it in the end.
The sound of a TV is the only friend youa019ve got.
And somehow ita019s not as peaceful as you thought.
The miracle you hoped for, never has arrived.
All thata019s left of your dignity is the barest hope youa019ll continue to survive.
A little self-pity, helps you make it through the day.
How would courage help you anyway?
You believe there just might be a God you could give your troubles to.
But you find it hard to understand how he believes in you.
CHORUS:
a018Cuz youa019re running on the edge, gettinga019 ready to fall
A pocket full of nothing, and youa019re about to lose it all.
Ita019s hard to build a future, when youa019re saddled with the past.
Youa019re gonna need Goda019s mercy to help you find some peace at last.
When youa019re running on the edge about to fall.
