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 understaaa-yaaa-yaaand I would understaaa-yaaa-yaaand Well he's on the table, and he's gone to code. And I do not think anyone knows What the hell he's doing here. And your friends all laugh till 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 can put the past away.
