In this time when the stakes are high
I want you to think fondly of the first long drive 
Return yourself to where it all began
In the thick of it all when the feeling first set in 
Before we got lost, got fucked up, played with fire just because 
I did damage to you babe, and I fear I’ll pay the cost now 

Nothing has ever really hurt like this 
Waking in the middle of the night, I begin to feel the weight of it 
However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down
The ache and angst within your eyes
Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands 
We’re on the brink of bruising I watch you undoing 
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance 
We could turn away from the edge

In this time, we take the space we need 
I’m coming to learn that without you, I don’t know me 
And it’s caught me off guard, thrown this thing off 
I kept quiet just because 
You did damage to me babe, and I’ve come to pay the cost now 

Nothing has ever really hurt like this 
Shot down in the middle of the fight, I begin to feel the weight of it 
However, in spite of the pain and panic and the breaking down
The ache and angst within your eyes
Still I cannot get my head around the fact that

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands 
We’re on the brink of bruising I watch you undoing 
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance 
We could turn away from the edge

Oh, don’t you want to try to make it last? 
I never want to wonder what this could have been 
But honey, I can feel you fading fast 
I beg of you to think this through and see us in that light again

We’re on the brink of losing all that’s unwritten
Everything I envisioned is slipping out of my hands 
We’re on the brink of bruising I watch you undoing 
Everything we have built up, if you just gave it a chance 
We could turn away from the edge
