Story Behind the Song
Someone (my best friend_ who I cared very deeply about romantically was moving away to be with someone they loved.. this song is about me dealing with that..
Lyrics
I'm too nervous to call,
cause I knew not to fall,
but I was hanging on by a thread,
and though I knew from the start,
he was still in your heart,
it wasn't something I could prevent,
cause I knew,
before long you'd be gone,
but the way you make me feel,
could never be wrong,
so inside,
though I tried hard to hide,
I just know you could see it in my eyes,
So why,
must you go when u know I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye,
and my will,
to hold on is so strong I cannot allow myself to cry,
dangling,
so precariously and my heart doesn't know how to fly,
So how,
can you leave when you see I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye,
I know that you care,
cause you've always been there,
and I appreciate all you've done,
you've been a wonderful friend,
and I don't want that to end,
though my heart tells me you are the one,
that's meant for me,
my one true destiny,
but I guess you don't feel the same,
so although,
it hurts to see you go,
I know that I'll be okay..
but why, (oh why)
must you go when u know I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye, (I'm hanging of the edge)
and my will,
to hold on is so strong I cannot allow myself to cry,(I can't let u see me cry)
dangling,
so precariously and my heart doesn't know how to fly, (I don't know how to fly)
So how, (how can you leave me hanging)
can you leave when you see I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye, (off the edge of goodbye)
my last memory,
when you came to me,
that cold december night,
you said things would be fine,
your eyes locked with mine,
in that moment I couldn't hide,
though I had to resist,,
the warmth of your kiss,
and the words screaming deep inside,
no doubt then you knew,
and all I could do,
was embrace you and say goodbye,
but why, (but why_____)
must you go when u know I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye, (did u, leave me hanging.. hanging off the edge of goodbye)
and my will,
to hold on is so strong I cannot allow myself to cry,(my will was too strong.. u couldn't see me cry)
dangling,
so precariously and my heart doesn't know how to fly, (how to fly)
So how, (how can you leave me hanging)
can you just leave when you see I'm hanging off the edge of goodbye, (off the edge of goodbye__ whoa..)
(ad lib to end)
