so you're standing on the ledge it looks like you might fall, so far down, or maybe you, were thinking about jumping but you could have it all, if you learned a little patience, but though i cannot fly, i'm not content to crawl so give me a little credit, have in me a little faith i want to be with you forever, but tomorrow's not too late but it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say and you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises today if i am, another waste of everything you've dreamed of i will let you down if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down so you're walking on the edge, and you wait your turn to fall, but you're so far gone that you don't see the hands upheld to catch you and you could find a fault, in the heart that you've been handed but though you cannot fly, you're not content to crawl and it's always too late when you've got nothing, so you say and you should never let the sun set on tomorrow, before the sun rises... if i am, another waste of everything you've hoped for i will let you down if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down so you're standing on the ledge, it looks like you might fall....... if i am, another waste of everything you've dreamed of i will let you down (i will let you down) if i am, only here to watch you as you suffer i will let you down the answers we find, are never what we had in mind so we make it up as we go along we don't talk the dreams, i won't let go tomorrow we won't make those promises that we can't keep....... i will never leave you, i will not let you down (2X)
