Lost On Bacwards Or Reverse Feet

When you left I was broken one the edge and the only way out was over and so I started running with my feet on backwards. (Your shadow (echoingx3) in my mind)

My darkest hour came that night sleeping without you.

But I know what you really are that girl all moms warn their son's about.

Birthed from disaster I was on the edge from the beginning.

 

You were the shadow on my wall making my skin crawl pushing me over the edge and you weren't there to save me.

 

It's a little different now I played a card you didn't know I had.

Now I'm gone and you on the edge your darkest hour at night realizing your mistake.

Your running but your feet are on backwards and the only way out is over the edge(my shadow(Echoingx3)in your mind)

Knowing what you've done was wrong you beg for me to take you back but I'm done living on the edge.

 

I am the shadow on your wall making your skin crawl pushing you back over the edge and I wont be there to save you.

Birthed from disaster I was on the edge from the beginning.

 

I am the shadow on your wall making your skin crawl pushing you back over the edge and I wont be there to save you.

 

I saved myself and so can you. I'm happy now without you and it kills you. My life is not what it was before.

I struggle with my demons day by day but at least I know mine wont kill me in the end. Ya I'm still lost but I gotta compass you have nothing. Now I can face the day unafraid and be me.
