High Price Of Mistakes

On the edge, I wait
 Hands held tightly... together
 Waiting for the name
 I wallow in my shame
 I played a dangerous game
 Hold it all inside, they said
 Don't you speak of this disgrace
 (till you're six feet underground)
 People whisper silently
 I can't even show my face
 (can you turn your life around)
 Don't think positive
 I'll only crush myself
 We just have to learn
 In our mistakes we cause concern
 But in the end it's only me who'll burn
 What will you do, they scream at me
 Turning nights to endless days
 (is there shelter from your fear)
 My decisions have no weight
 I can only run away
 (it's your voice you have to hear)
 Hold it all inside, they said
 Don't you speak of this disgrace
 (till you're six feet underground)
 Whispers turn so deafening
 I can't live with my own face
 (can you turn your life around)
 What will you do they scream at me
 Leaving my wound so exposed
 (is there shelter from your fear)
 Twisted words and loving arms
 No one else will ever know
 (it's your voice you have to hear)
