Ready To Fall

I’m standing on the ledge
It’s what I must do
I never took the pledge
I’m sorry to all of you

Ready to face my fears
Ready to seal the deal
Ready to stop my tears
So I eat my last meal

Facing my worst nightmare
I do this in front of you
Carrying out this last dare
Forever closing my eyes of blue

I need to set myself free
I’m falling down so fast
Please don’t try to catch me
This breath is my last
