Lyrics

On the Edge

Maybe you've seen me in the evening
Wearing a different face each night
Somehow my history kept repeating
I watch the same disaster strike

I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge

I know you rarely look for meaning
You always had a guarded mind
How could you understand our feelings
You're never brave enough to try

I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge

Maybe you've seen me in the evening
Wearing a different face each night
To keep my history from repeating
I had to let some lightning strike
