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
I sing 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

'Cause 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 from 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

Well he's on the table and he's goin' to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they're doing here

And your friends have left you
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
You could put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties from 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
I would understand

Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
You could cut ties from all the lies you've been livin' in
(I will understand)
If you do not wanna see me again
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(And I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
