The Brink

In this time when the stakes are high I want you to think fondly of the first long drive Return yourself to where it all began In the thick of it all when the feeling first set in Before we got lost, got fucked up, played with fire just because I did damage to you babe, and I fear I'll pay the cost now Nothing has ever really hurt like this Waking in the middle of the night, I begin to feel the weight of it However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down The ache and angst within your eyes Still I cannot get my head around the fact that We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance We could turn away from the edge In this time, we take the space we need I'm coming to learn that without you, I don't know me And it's caught me off guard, thrown this thing off I kept quiet just because You did damage to me babe, and I've come to pay the cost now Nothing has ever really hurt like this Shot down in the middle of the fight, I begin to feel the weight of it However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down The ache and angst within your eyes Still I cannot get my head around the fact that We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance We could turn away from the edge Oh, don't you wanna try to make it last? I never want to wonder what this could have been But honey, I can feel you fading fast I beg of you to think this through and see us in that light again We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance We could turn away from the edge
