The Brink

I think about the reasons why

And I ruminate the things I’d lose

Both sides over-brewed

Through dark brown eyes

Do I have to?

Throw it all away?

Just kiss goodbye to everything?

I know we’re both to blame

And I still hope someday our circumstances change,

But I’m on the brink

My sense of self appears as patchwork plains,

Tentatively stitched with promises of progress,

Interlaced with threats of pain

Do I have to?

Do I have to throw it all away?

Just kiss goodbye to everything?

I know we’re both to blame

And I still hope someday our circumstances change

But I’m on the brink

And all that time

Stark circles on our battle lines

Stained in brine

Well we played all our cards

And never showed ‘em

To save each other’s last chance

Do I have to throw it all away?

Just kiss goodbye to everything?

I know we’re both to blame

And I still hope someday our circumstances change,

But I’m on the brink

Do I have to throw it all away?

Just kiss goodbye to everything?

I know we’re both to blame

Will I take another chance?

Or throw it all away?

Just kiss goodbye to everything?

I know we’re both to blame

And I still hope someday our circumstances change,

But I’m on the brink
