CHORUS:
I wish you would step back
From that ledge, my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've 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 the burial shroud.
I know something's wrong.
Well, ev'ryone I know has got a rea - son
To say put the past away.

CHORUS.

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,
you've been dismissed.
I never thought it would come to this and I,
I want you to know
Ev'ryone's got to face down the de - mons.
Maybe today, you could 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've been living in.
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand
