Rapid moments falling into place
I stand on the edge, look down to see your face
Miles above all the pain you've caused
Thinking of jumping, but the hate makes me pause
All those memories flow into my mind
I wonder why, is it a lie, do I want to rewind?
I could stand up here for the rest of my life
hating you, wanting you, trying to pull out the knife
But I know you've already taken the leap
You gave up, your're gone now
All that you've sown I must reap
So I take a breath, step away & try to take myself back
I know, one more step, I'll never gain the strength that I lack
I walk away free, knowing you've made your choice
It doesn't change a ******* thing
I'm taking back my voice.
