The Brink

(albüm: Begin To Look Around - 2021)

In this time when the stakes are high
I want you to think fondly of the first long drive
Return yourself to where it all began
In the thick of it all when the feeling first set in
Before we got lost, got fucked up, played with fire just because
I did damage to you babe, and I fear I'll pay the cost now

Nothing has ever really hurt like this
Waking in the middle of the night, I begin to feel the weight of it
However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down
The ache and angst within your eyes
Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands
We're on the brink of bruising I watch you undoing
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance
We could turn away from the edge

In this time, we take the space we need
I'm coming to learn that without you, I don't know me
And it's caught me off guard, thrown this thing off
I kept quiet just because
You did damage to me babe, and I've come to pay the cost now

Nothing has ever really hurt like this
Shot down in the middle of the fight, I begin to feel the weight of it
However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down
The ache and angst within your eyes
Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands
On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance
We could turn away from the edge

Oh, don't you want to try to make it last?
I never want to wonder what this could have been
But honey, I can feel you fading fast
I beg of you to think this through and see us in that light again

We're on the brink of losing all that's unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands
On the brink of bruising, I watch you undoing
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance
We could turn away from the edge
