The evidence was there for you to point the finger
A momentary lapse casts me into oblivion
Am I wasting all this time
Just trying to find the warmth in your eyes
I've been holding back myself, but I'm closer to the edge

Dusk approaches I'm standing in the city lights

Am I here in vain
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you I begged you
To just please let me through
I have fallen now
Will you pick me up again
In the face of my failures
I just want you to hear these words

Forget the obvious mistakes so I can breathe
Let me offer you all that I can give
Don't shut me out again
I'll shake but I will stand
I'm slipping constantly
I've fallen off the edge

Am I here in vain
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you I begged you
To just please let me through
I have fallen now
Will you pick me up again
In the face of my failures
I just want you to hear these words

Am I here in vain
Did you not hear a word I said
When I asked you I begged you
To just please let me through
I have fallen now
Will you pick me up again
In the face of my failures
I just want you to hear these words
