Close To The Edge Lyrics

I was in to like a sudden fix
From a bowl of sugar to you
And all that you were standing for

Yeah, you knew I was so caught up
That I could barely move to stop you
From having everything and more

Do you pick me up to put me under
Break me in so you can
Choose your ways to put me back again?

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground

Are you into?
Have you given up, have we gone too far?
Do you wander or are you staying where we are?

I abhor you, yet all the while
Still I adore knowing you
And all that might have been before

Do I say too much to take you over
Break me in so I can
Choose my ways to put me back again?

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground

'Cause I'm floored but not broken
And I'm scarred but I'll heal
Yeah, I'm blissfully tortured, naked and real

And I'm stung and I'm sorry
But I'm calm now and clear
Like the sky hanging over

Like the scratch on my shoulder
That I no longer feel, feel
I was into, too close to the edge, too close to the edge

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
