On the edge I wait
Hands held tightlytogether
Waiting for the name
I wallow in my shame
I played a dangerous game
Hold it all inside they said
Don’t you speak of this disgrace
till you’re six feet underground
People whisper silently
I can’t even show my face
can you turn your life around
Don’t think positive
I’ll only crush myself
We just have to learn
In our mistakes we cause concern
But in the end it’s only me who’ll burn
What will you do they scream at me
Turning nights to endless days
is there shelter from your fear
My decisions have no weight
I can only run away
it’s your voice you have to hear
Hold it all inside they said
Don’t you speak of this disgrace
till you’re six feet underground
Whispers turn so deafening
I can’t live with my own face
can you turn your life around
What will you do they scream at me
Leaving my wound so exposed
is there shelter from your fear
Twisted words and loving arms
No one else will ever know
it’s your voice you have to hear
