Joe lisa

Joe lisa said, she wanted to forgive
 and forget her pain.
  
  I couldn't let her live,
 she had to pay the price for trying.

She was living on the edge,
she never knew the floor was caving in.

You get what you give,
when every road is a past mistake.

They will never let you live, 
when dying is all that they ever did.

Just spinning on the edge,
spinning on the edge of a life and death

But you learn to forgive,
when you're spinning on the edge of your life and death.
