On the edge, I wait   Hands held tightly…together   Waiting for the name   I wallow in my shame   I played a dangerous game      Hold it all inside, they said   Don’t you speak of this disgrace   (till you’re six feet underground)   People whisper silently   I can’t even show my face   (can you turn your life around)      Don’t think positive   I’ll only crush myself   We just have to learn   In our mistakes we cause concern   But in the end it’s only me who’ll burn      What will you do, they scream at me   Turning nights to endless days   (is there shelter from your fear)   My decisions have no weight   I can only run away   (it’s your voice you have to hear)      Hold it all inside, they said   Don’t you speak of this disgrace   (till you’re six feet underground)   Whispers turn so deafening   I can’t live with my own face   (can you turn your life around)   What will you do they scream at me   Leaving my wound so exposed   (is there shelter from your fear)   Twisted words and loving arms   No one else will ever know   (it’s your voice you have to hear)
