the ledge

once you're up on the ledge

there's only one way down

so i'll keep you up there

where you're safe and sound

my knuckles are white

your ankles are red

as you dance from your height

and i lie on the ledge

the killer in me likes to see you cry

the killer in me won't let you

won't let you die

i can't say what i feel

in fear you might fall

i'm afraid for you

i'm afraid for us all

the killer in me likes to see you cry

the killer in me won't let you

won't let you die

what makes you think you're the only one

to love and lose

and lose

you put the poison in the soup

drench the bed with gasoline

and all for the love of you

i'm scrubbing sheets clean

the killer in me who likes to see you cry

the killer in me will not let you die

won't let you die

i will not let you die

i won't let you die

so my knuckles are white

your ankles are red

and i'll spend my whole life

keeping you up on the ledge

keeping you up on that ledge
