I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in   And if you do not want to see me again   I would understand, I would understand      The angry boy, a bit too insane   Icing over a secret pain   You know you don't belong   You're the first to fight, you're way too loud   You're the flash of light on a burial shroud   I know something's wrong   Well everyone I know has got a reason to say   Put the past away      I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in   And if you do not want to see me again   I would understand, I would understand      We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code   And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here   And your friends have left too, you've been dismissed   I never thought it would come to this   And I, I want you to know   Everyone's got to face down the demons   Maybe today, we can put the past away      I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in   And if you do not want to see me again   I would understand, I would understand, I would understand      (I would understand, I would understand...)      Can you put the past away   I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   I would understand   I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   I would understand   I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   And I would understand   I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   I would understand   I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend   And I would understand
