Standing on the edge of loneliness My heartache beckons me to fall A river of tears my destination Do I heed my pain's endless call? That ache down deep in my stomach A feeling of eternal loss There's no turning back from whence I came I burn every bridge that I cross Trust is now just a far away dream A phantom with unfaithful eyes A promise, no more than empty words A truth that's no more than lies My soul is hollow, my memories mist That fade away with the breeze Broken, I tend to my unhealing wounds Destined to stand on my knees Standing on the edge of loneliness My heart now lost to this death "Why does love have to hurt like this?" I scream, with my final breath

The Edge of Loneliness
Standing on the edge of loneliness My heartache beckons me to fall A river of tears my destination Do I heed my pain's endless call? That ache down deep in my stomach A feeling of eternal loss There's no turning back from whence I came I burn every bridge that I cross Trust is now just a far away dream A phantom with unfaithful eyes A promise, no more than empty words A truth that's no more than lies My soul is hollow, my memories mist That fade away with the breeze Broken, I tend to my unhealing wounds Destined to stand on my knees Standing on the edge of loneliness My heart now lost to this death "Why does love have to hurt like this?" I scream, with my final breath
