Survival
I sit on the edge of this mountain top
My feet dangling over the sheer cliff
There’s a decision to be made
But it’s not what you think
I come here to clear my head
Becoming one with nature
This is where I feel at peace
This is where I vanquish my demons
I made the choice to reach out to you
You seemed to be glad I did
Was it just a lie?
Did you care at all?
Did you set me up on purpose
Just to watch me fall?
This decision isn’t easy
Because you still have my heart
Do I wallow in the pain
And long to have you back?
Do I learn to let you go
And find a way to heal?
Well, let me tell you something
And I’ll make it very clear
I’m a survivor and I’m going to move on
I can learn to breathe without you
I will brush myself off
I will hold my head high
You had your chance
One day you’ll see
The big mistake you made
When you walked away from me.
