I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that you 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

Icing 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

Well 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 with all the lies that you 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 gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows

What they are doing here

And your friends have left

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

We can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that you been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

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 would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

I would understand

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

I would understand
