Lyrics
The Edge
Jonathan Olivares and Ken Matthiesen DOC 09/20/2016 Copyright 2016
V1
Today, not just another day
Gonna find what I'm made of
Right now who I see in the mirror
Scares me like hell because
Pre Chorus
I've been running
All my life
I've been hiding
In plain sight
Chorus
I'm on the edge... of ruin
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge of ruin
The edge, the edge, the edge of losing my mind
I'm on the edge of time
V2
No way, I'm gonna stop prayin'
Should have done a little more
I've been looking for answers
Knocking on my door
Repeat PreChorus
Repeat CHorus
Bridge
Look up, look down, look into my soul
Get down, get up, oh like an overdose
Where do I go where do I go
There's nowhere left to go
Repeat Chorus
