lyrics

I got a little bit closer to the edge last night than I had planned
we were walking down the street with some people we’d only meet
and never, ever, see again

wouldn’t you say that’s a bad way to live
now I’ll concede, I don’t know the half of it

‘cause it hurts me too when I tell on you,
I thank god for what I never knew
and who I’ll never, ever, see again

fight through the pain with a bottle,
you always were the perfect role model
and now I’ll never, ever, see you again

I got a little bit closer to the edge last night than I had planned

you were running through my mind,
you’re up there all the time
but now I’ll never, ever, see you again

and now I’ll never, ever, see you again
