The Edge

I should try to speak
 but all this fighting left me weak
 If I could defend
 but the ink runs from my pen
 I'd beg you not to go away
 We should be here together
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 I'm begging you don't go away
 We should be getting better
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 And if I could erase
 I'd leave the past without a trace
 and with picture-perfect valentine
 Replace the words disguised as mine
 And beg you not to go away
 We should be here together
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 I'm begging you don't go away
 We should be getting better
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 Life is not living without you
 Love is not loving without you
 This is something that I feel
 the tight squeeze and the cracking cold steel
 and I can't stop it - my heart
 must be breaking
 I'm begging you don't go away
 We should be here together
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 I'm begging you don't go away
 We should be getting better
 Though we are somewhere near the edge
 Why are we somewhere near the edge
