On the Edge of Yourself
The way ahead don't look so clear
An unknown path brings you fear
You can't feel nothing but pain
Sunshine is gone, just more rain
Life's true love you won't pervert
Just push back so you can't hurt
Pleasures known so well to you
Now escape your grasp askew
On the edge of yourself
Not a good place to live
On the edge of yourself
With nothing left to give
Walking a fine gray line
Between hope and despair
On the edge of yourself
With little left to spare
On your darkness night
There's still one ray of light
Clearly still shining through
Your man who so loves you
From your pain he won't hide
Loving not just the beautiful side
For he looks deep in your soul
Seeing a princess never old
On the edge of yourself
Not a good place to live
On the edge of yourself
With nothing left to give
Walking a fine gray line
Between hope and despair
On the edge of yourself
Cling to the one who cares
