Brighter Days

You've got one foot in the grave
You're one step from the edge
I'm searching for the words to say
To get you out of your head
I know that you're not okay
But this will only make it worse
We all know what the poets say
Pain only ends when you're dead
I don't think it's got to be that way
I think there's brighter days ahead
I know life's not okay
It aches beyond any words
But my friend this will only make it worse
And sleep's a nice alternative to suicide
Why don't you step back from that ledge and come inside
You can forget all of their words
Forget all their faces
Cause' there are some choices you can never take back
It's easy to throw away
A life riddled with cuts and scars
There's something still left to save
It's at the core of who you are
So push on to the brighter days
You don't know what you're worth
Oh my friend you don't know what you're worth
And sleep's a nice alternative to suicide
Why don't you step back from that ledge and come inside
You can forget all of their words
Forget all their faces
Cause' there are some choices you can never take back
You've got one foot in the grave
You're one step from the edge
And I know what the poets say
This pain will end when you're dead
And I'm sure it really feels that way
But I hope you listen to me instead
There's brighter days ahead
And sleep's a nice alternative to suicide
Why don't you step back from that ledge and come inside
You can forget all of their words
Forget all their faces
Cause' there are some choices you can never take back
