I stood on the bridge
Head dangling over the side
With dark waters below
I thought hard
So hard that my head started to spin
So hard that I couldn't breathe
And then I did nothing
I could have taken the plunge
All it would have took is a little step
A small push
But I didn't
I don't know if it was fear or willpower
That made me walk away
And somewhere in the back of my head
It felt like cowardice
I thought it was going to end
But tonight, I survived

I stood on the bridge
Head dangling over the side
With dark waters below
I thought hard
So hard that my head started to spin
So hard that I couldn't breathe
And then I did nothing
I could have taken the plunge
All it would have took is a little step
A small push
But I didn't
I don't know if it was fear or willpower
That made me walk away
And somewhere in the back of my head
It felt like cowardice
I thought it was going to end
But tonight, I survived
