Tottering On the Edge
I’m giving it a shot
even though I said I would not
If you say that phrase
I’ll be gone in a flash
and leave on the spot
I know where I belong
and I don’t want to be far gone
I just need to pass the time
It bring up my fears
of being stuck here
and never moving on
My heart is sending me miles away
unless I find a reason
a good reason for me to stay
Right now I’m teetering on the edge
because I know this isn’t where I belong
