Derelict

I been on the edge and I don't wanna fall
Yeah, I'm such a derelict, got no one I can call
I told you I would change, but that ain't what you saw
Got no one left to blame, yeah, I know it's all my fault

'Cause I've been on the edge, I'm barely hanging on
My fingertips are slipping, yeah, I'm thinking I'ma fall
But after all this pain and everything I caused you
Just push me in the flames, I know I deserve it all too
'Cause I been on the edge
Said I been on the edge

I said
Been down this road before, barefoot in the quarter store
Nobody on my side, I had to do this on my own
So I'm bagging up my pride, I tie it up together
Then I cut the line

'Cause lately, I've had better things on my mind
And finally I see the light that's on the other side
Wonder what else I'll find
Maybe one day, I'll see reflections of a better me

Staring back inside a mirror, maybe that's just fantasy
Something that's make-believe, I think about when I pretend
Tell me, is this real or in my head? Yeah

'Cause I been on the edge and I don't wanna fall
Yeah, I'm such a derelict, got no one I can call
I told you I would change, but that ain't what you saw
Got no one left to blame, yeah, I know it's all my fault

'Cause I've been on the edge, I'm barely hanging on
My fingertips are slipping, yeah, I'm thinking I'ma fall
But after all this pain, and everything I caused you
Just push me in the flames, I know I deserve it all too
'Cause I been on the edge
Yeah, I been on the edge

It's been hot coals and broken glass, walking 'til my feet are sore
Traveled down this narrow path, but I can't take it anymore
So I'm guessing it's my time to turn around from my own ways
And walk the line, nobody cares if I'm okay
But I'll be fine, I'm letting go of it all
I just hope I can fly, so I enjoy the ride

Maybe one day I'll see reflections of a better me
Staring back inside a mirror, maybe that's just fantasy
Something that's make believe, I think about when I pretend
Tell me, is this real or in my head? Yeah

'Cause I been on the edge and I don't wanna fall
Yeah, I'm such a derelict, got no one I can call
I told you I would change, but that ain't what you saw
Got no one left to blame, yeah, I know it's all my fault

'Cause I've been on the edge, I'm barely hanging on
My fingertips are slipping, yeah, I'm thinking I'ma fall
But after all this pain and everything I caused you
Just push me in the flames, I know I deserve it all too
'Cause I been on the edge
