Here I am standing close to the ledge,
Ready to jump, one foot over the edge
As I look up and close my eyes,
I remember our tearful goodbyes
Thoughts of you keep me up at night,
Sleeping alone without a light
You crawl up into my dreams,
And untangle all of the seams
Don't fight it, just let go
Oh, how I miss you terribly so
I fall back with my guard down,
Into pools of blood, I will drown
Without anyone to rescue me,
I accept my fate and let it be
