First to Eleven - The Edge Lyrics

You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait
Oh, 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 a light, I am standing on the edge of my life
(Standing on the edge of my life, of my life)
(Standing on the edge)

So this is how it all turns out
You're the hero, I'm let down
I should've known you couldn't stand
Up for me and be a man
I still have dreams of you and I
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 a light, I am standing on the edge of my life

With each step I hold my breath
And I'm tangled in your spider webs again
How did 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
(Just keep burning, just keep burning)

But tonight, I need you to save me
I'm too close to breaking
I see a light
I am standing on the edge of my life

Standing on the edge of my life
Standing on the edge of my life (edge of my life)
I am standing on the edge of my life
